...awfulness and who then faded away amid the flames and communiques of the Patty kidnapping; Bill, trying time after time to grab hold of a paper or to understand how his father had betrayed him; young Will, trying to break out of the circle by joining Jann Wenner in a new magazine called Outside, and discovering Wenner as disappointing a publisher as assorted Hearsts had been. Despite a faithful recording of the tensions within the Corporation, Chaney and Cieply never probe very deeply, never confronting the intra-familial demon wrestling the Hearst dynasty...
Stripped of its Whitmanesque rhetoric, this means the fixture as before: first person singularities from the prominent (Miss U.S.A., Ted Turner, Joan Crawford, Arnold Schwarzenegger), the recognizable (Baseball Maverick Bill Veeck, Novelist Jill Robinson, Rolling Stone Publisher Jann Wenner) and the totally obscure. All of them are highly individual, all discuss some aspect of that worn shibboleth, the American Dream. As they talk, platitudes give way to testimony, and the vision becomes a document...
...Dance: Part One" is a disco track; and it seems appropriate at this point to write a little in defense of disco. Disco never got much of a press, except from people like Time; Rolling Stone ran a disco issue at the insistence of publisher Jann Wenner, who Jagger once described to Chet Flippo as "that cunt of a boss of yours," but it went over like a suckling pig at Passover.

Filipacchi, who publishes Paris Match and eleven other French journals, will retain 51% ownership of the magazine (six French partners control the rest). Wenner will remain Rolling Stone's editor and publisher, assume those titles at Look...
...which Felker is reported to have asked, "Who was that?"). In Murder, a Felkeresque press lord named Walter Foster loses his empire in an unfriendly takeover. Then, worse fate, he is displaced from his regular table at Elaine's by a younger publishing whiz, Rolling Stone's Jann Wenner, making a cameo appearance under his own name. After a long exile, Foster returns unexpectedly one steamy August night when the restaurant is mysteriously jammed with patrons who ought to be in the Hamptons. The lights go out, a shot is heard and Foster is found under...
