Golden Ears. The Star owes much to the misfortunes of the Washington Post. One night eight weeks ago, pressmen at the Post (circ. 534,000) walked off the job after sabotaging their presses, and eight of the paper's other unions followed. The strike left the Post struggling for weeks to print shrunken editions (48 pages, v. a typical 96) on borrowed presses. Much of the damaged equipment was quickly repaired, and the Post last week put out a 104-page paper. But the Post probably lost $4 million in advertising during the first five weeks of the strike...
...impressively equipped printing school in Oklahoma City supported by the Post and 200 other papers and known among union members as a "school for scabs." Indeed, the center was organized largely by a newspaper production manager who had driven printing unions from the nearby Daily Oklahoman and Times (combined circ. 272,177) in the 1950s...
...Francisco, where news swirls across town faster than the fog, the word was out: Rolling Stone (circ. 410,000) was on to something big.

PATTY, ARE YOU COMING HOME? screamed a headline in WAR-DECLARED type. Editor-Publisher John R. ("Reg") Murphy contributed a copyrighted interview with Patty's parents about their first meeting with her since she was kidnaped more than 19 months...
...Genesis, Dude, Club, Game, Cavalier, Adam and Hustler, have been leaving less and less to the imagination. Playboy has expanded its Playmate of the Month spread from two or three pages to as many as nine. Penthouse routinely features male-female and female-female couples. Hefner's Oui (circ. 1.3 million), which set out three years ago to out-raunch Penthouse, is a virtual consumer guide to self-abuse, sadomasochism, bondage and other subjects that were once the province of hard-core porn...
