...magazine editors in Manhattan last week. Later the 30-year-old editor, who manages to look at once rakish and boyish, appeared in a red shirt, Hush Puppies and a tattered eye patch,* to tell reporters in Ramparts' offices in the Fisherman's Wharf area of San Francisco: "The magazine is bankrupt; the phones are out; there's no booze in the closet; we're dead...
