Anyway. The magazine materialized last June. It's called Rags. A cheap number-40c-and a monthly, printed on plain of newsprint, it's unabashedly trying to make it just like a Rolling Stone. "As befits its name, Rags eschews the gloss of traditional fashion books," reports shiny-panted Time. Which is to suggest, perhaps unfairly, that in rejecting the slick road to fashion, Rags and Rolling Stone may have inadvertently established a duller shade of slick themselves...
...Tattilo, who has the sleek, confident demeanor of a successful public relations woman, was once a successful public relations woman. In 1965 she and her husband, now separated, broke into publishing with a weekly for children called Big. A year later they started Men, a vulgar weekly collection on newsprint of photographs of nude women often purchased from Scandinavia-or provided by the agents of Italian starlets. Playmen was started in 1967, and looked enough like Playboy, which was then banned in Italy, to attract buyers. Except for the European style of its nudes and a blessed absence of Hefnerian...

"It is a fact that there is a very large and populous country which is governed [from] Peking...
...befits its name, Rags eschews the gloss of traditional fashion books. Priced at 40?, its 60 newsmagazine-sized pages are printed in black and white on ordinary newsprint. But abundant pictures and a clean layout make it easy to read. Some of the most arresting material pops up in lengthy interviews. The July issue features San Francisco's Alvin Duskin, a social activist and successful manufacturer of knitwear, who says: "There is a growing resistance to buying clothes. The whole idea that 'clothes make a man' is over...
