...press run for each of the first three issues was 25,000 copies-20,000 for "subscribers" and 5.000 for newsstands. But these subscribers, for the most part, were a special breed and all "from Missouri." President Roy E. Larsen (then circulation manager) had attracted his readers by means of a two-way dare. Take the magazine on free trial for three weeks, he wrote his prospects, and if you like it, send us $5.00 for a year's subscription. Some 9,000 did just that...
Behind the latest party revolt against Ezra Benson lay grim results of a special election in Minnesota to fill the late Congressman August Andresen's First District seat. So rock-ribbed Republican are the First District's twelve rural counties that the district has sent only three Democrats to Congress in Minnesota's 100 years, and none in the last 65.

The only recorded instance in which Paul Getty has ever loosened his purse strings was the donation of $500,000 worth of art from his collection (now housed in a special museum wing of his 64-acre seaside ranch at Malibu, Calif.) to the Los Angeles County Museum. Everyone automatically assumed there was some special tax benefit in it for Getty. (There...
...favor-let alone the child. Still, children are cute, and this one is ever so. But the husband, a brain who does basic research in theoretical physics, does not seem to enjoy living in the same house with a walking edition of Bright Sayings, and it takes a special visitation by the ghost of Lauren Bacall, accompanied on the sound track by a heavenly choir, to win him over. This is probably the nicest thing Hollywood has said for years about a heavy thinker...
