...radical collective and had a circulation of only 890. But seven months ago, Phoenix was bought by Ray Reipen, 35, a Harvard Law School graduate, and Richard Missner, 28, who has a degree from the Harvard Business School. They hired an able staff of ten newsmen and imported Harper Barnes, a reporter from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, as editor. Early this year Missner bought out his partner and proceeded to plow about $350,000 of his own money into his new property-money that he is now beginning to recoup...

...Earl Sutherland Jr. was hardly fazed when newsmen bearing rumors descended upon his home in Nashville, Tenn., last week. A professor of physiology at Nashville's Vanderbilt University, he remained calmer than the newsmen while a Swedish journalist in the group placed a transatlantic call to a colleague who was waiting outside the room at Stockholm's Royal Caroline Institute where the Nobel Prize Committee was voting.
