...when to blow the whistle on the boss." In fact, one magazine this month has everyone of those articles. It even has the requisite beaming cherub on the cover, Yet there's a twist; this grinning infant is perched on an IBM Selectric typewriter. The magazine in question is Ms...
...Ms. burst onto the scene three years ago with the help of a lot of money from Kay Graham of The Washington Post, and an editorial staff garnered from New York Magazine. Its first issue's cover girl was Wonder Woman, and she embodied the rising hopes for the new venture. Contrary to the usual pattern of American business, however, a dozen imitation "feminist" magazines have not sprung up in its wake.

The romance began to fizzle, however, when Aczel injured himself while loading a lawnmower onto Ms. Filler's Jeep, and she refused to foot the medical bills. Moreover, says Aczel, "I slatted gelling phone calls. My apartment was broken into. My car was stolen. I think it was people who were jealous of me, people around her who wanted her money...
