Last week most of the survivors never made it to Friday. Filipacchi turned the editorial and financial management of Look (arc. 650,000) over to Jann Wenner, 33, editor and publisher of Rolling Stone, the rock-music tabloid.

Filipacchi, who publishes Paris Match and eleven other French journals, will retain 51% ownership of the magazine (six French partners control the rest).

The latest Rolling Stone contains its annual reader's poll--not surprisingly, Fleetwood Mac comes out on top--"Rumours" still goes platinum again every month. But perhaps the most interesting precious metals are passed out in the Platinum Turkey Awards, in the "What Ever Happened to Ego Death" Category...
...Harvard College, trampling and tearing up the carefully and expensively manicured lawns of Harvard Yard in the process. In his Commencement Address, Freddie Laker comments, "The line for the airbus forms right behind the Phi Beta Kappa procession." Honorary degrees are awarded to John Travolta, Nona Hendryx, Alex Haley, Jann Wenner, Larry Flynt, and Jack Ford. The highlight of the ceremony is a stand-off duel between the clam serving as Mayor of Cambridge and the "rootless" Yale Bladderball...
