...boasts a circulation of 540,000. The publication offers insider advice on such topics as trolling, plastic worms and fish hideouts. Bassmaster's most famous subscriber is George Bush, who calls it his favorite magazine. With a loyal readership and scant competition, Bassmaster charges advertisers $20,000 a page, and posted ad sales of $12 million last year. The company as a whole had revenues of $30 million in 1988, double the level of five years earlier...
...attention on the question of his successor. Since he fired his appointed heir, Ayatullah Ali Montazeri, 65, in March, the spotlight has turned to Khomeini's son Ahmed, 43, who has been increasingly visible lately.

The magazine has added a horoscope page and a rundown of the week's soap-opera plots -- two low-rent staples of daily newspapers. Its late-breaking news pages, once a source of knowing industry tidbits, have become splashier and more trivial ("Rating the Oscar Parties: The Best and the Worst"). Cover stories, meanwhile, have kept both eyes on the newsstand: a January story about rock music on TV, for example...
...president. "This is one of the most enormously successful magazines in the history of publishing. What we're doing is looking to take it to a new level." The goal is to boost circulation to 18 million, he says, mostly by increasing newsstand sales. The next gimmick: a 16-page insert of discount coupons, to run at least once a month beginning in June...
