Experts predicted WoodenBoat magazine would never float when a scruffy young boatbuilder single-handedly put together the first issue in a shack in the Maine woods back in 1974. But last fall, Jon Wilson and a crew of thirty-one sent a 192-page tenth-anniversary issue to 100,000 readers around the world from their new quarters, a sixty-five-acre waterfront estate in Brooklin. By James P. Brown.
Small businesses are big business in the Pine Tree State. A karate instructor, two chimney sweeps, a lampshade lady, and two marine-fittings specialists are heroes and heroines in their own success stories.
A young George Michael interviewed David Cassidy about stardom, struggling with fame, and doing a comeback that was published in the June 1985 issue of the Ritz fashion magazine. Below is the full transcript of the interview:
Luckily for him, andsomewhat encouragingly for me, DAVID CASSIDY appears to be a well-balanced andhappy individual. The effect of these six years, though sometimes veryapparent, are inoffensive, even engaging, and after all he is an American.

Vassar College's Miscellany News was born in 1914. Its original purpose was as a journalistic supplement to the Miscellany Monthly, the college's student-run literary magazine. By 1917, however, the goals of the two publications had diverged and the News divorced itself from the Monthly.
Although it has undergone significant structural adjustments, as well as a number of title changes in its nearly 100 years of publication, the paper has maintained its role as Vassar's principal student publication and an important source of information about Vassar College events, activities and issues of import

Harper & Row signed a contract with President Gerald R. Ford for the right to publish his memoirs. It licensed pre-publication rights to Time Magazine to publish a portion of the memoirs for $25,000, of which half would be paid before the article was published and half afterward. However, a writer at The Nation magazine managed to obtain a copy of the memoir's manuscript without Ford's permission or authorization. He published a 2,250-word article in The Nation that contained verbatim quotes from the manuscript.
As a result, Time Magazine canceled its article and refused to pay the second half of the licensing fee to Harper & Row. The publisher then brought a copyright infringement claim against The Nation. While Harper & Row prevailed in federal district court, the ruling was reversed on appeal based on the fair use exception to copyright infringement under Section 107 of the Copyright Act.
While it was appropriate to consider the applicability of fair use here, O'Connor ultimately found that applying the exception was not justified. She analyzed each of the four factors that courts consider in determining whether fair use applies, which are:1) The purpose and character of the use;2) The nature of the copyrighted work;3) The amount that was taken in proportion to the work as a whole; and4) The market effect for the copyrighted work.Emphasizing that each fair use analysis is highly fact-specific, O'Connor pointed out that the unpublished nature of the memoirs made establishing a fair use defense difficult because Section 106 of the Copyright Act allows authors to control the first public distribution of an authorized version of their works. She also observed that The Nation is a for-profit news magazine using the material for commercial gain without paying licensing fees. The Nation used extended passages from the memoirs rather than just mere words, and these passages were taken from some of the most important portions of the book. Regarding the effect on the market, O'Connor felt that Time's refusal to run the article and pay the second half of the license fee showed that such an effect existed. All of the factors thus weighed against allowing a fair use defense in this instance.
Although the work was factual, which usually favors applying fair use, unpublished works and those that are obtained illicitly likely do not fall under the protection of this doctrine. The right of first publication does not alway apply in these situations.
In 1977, former President Ford contracted with petitioners topublish his as yet unwritten memoirs. The agreement gavepetitioners the exclusive first serial right to licenseprepublication excerpts. Two years later, as the memoirs werenearing completion, petitioners, as the copyright holders,negotiated a prepublication licensing agreement with Time Magazineunder which Time agreed to pay $25,000 ($12,500 in advance and thebalance at publication) in exchange for the right to excerpt 7,500words from Mr. Ford's account of his pardon of former PresidentNixon. Shortly before the Time article's scheduled release, anunauthorized source provided The Nation Magazine with theunpublished Ford manuscript. Working directly from this manuscript,an editor of The Nation produced a 2,250-word article, at least 300to 400 words of which consisted of verbatim quotes of copyrightedexpression taken from the manuscript. It was timed to "scoop" theTime article. As a result of the publication of The Nation'sarticle, Time canceled its article and refused to pay the remaining$12,500 to petitioners. Petitioners then brought suit in FederalDistrict Court against respondent publishers of The Nation,alleging, inter alia, violations of the Copyright Act(Act). The District Court held that the Ford memoirs were protectedby copyright at the time of The Nation publication, and thatrespondents' use of the copyrighted material constituted aninfringement under the Act, and the court awarded actual damages of$12,500. The Court of Appeals reversed, holding that The Nation'spublication of the 300 to 400 words it identified as copyrightableexpression was sanctioned as a "fair use" of the copyrightedmaterial under 107 of the Act. Section 107 provides that,notwithstanding the provisions of 106 giving a copyright ownerthe exclusive right to reproduce the copyrighted work and toprepare derivative works based on the copyrighted work, the fairuse of a copyrighted work for purposes such as comment and newsreporting is not an infringement of copyright. Section 107 furtherprovides that, in determining whether the use was fair, the factorsto be considered shall include: (1) the purpose and character ofthe use; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) thesubstantiality of the portion used in relation to the
(a) In using generous verbatim excerpts of Mr. Ford'sunpublished expression to lend authenticity to its account of theforthcoming memoirs, The Nation effectively arrogated to itself theright of first publication, an important marketable subsidiaryright. Pp. 471 U. S.545-549.
(b) Though the right of first publication, like other rightsenumerated in 106, is expressly made subject to the fair useprovisions of 107, fair use analysis must always be tailored to theindividual case. The nature of the interest at stake is highlyrelevant to whether a given use is fair. The unpublished nature ofa work is a key, though not necessarily determinative, factortending to negate a defense of fair use. And under ordinarycircumstances, the author's right to control the first publicappearance of his undisseminated expression will outweigh a claimof fair use. Pp. 471 U. S.549-555.
(c) In view of the First Amendment's protections embodied in theAct's distinction between copyrightable expression anduncopyrightable facts and ideas, and the latitude for scholarshipand comment traditionally afforded by fair use, there is no warrantfor expanding, as respondents contend should be done, the fair usedoctrine to what amounts to a public figure exception to copyright.Whether verbatim copying from a public figure's manuscript in agiven case is or is not fair must be judged according to thetraditional equities of fair use. Pp. 471 U. S.555-560.
(d) Taking into account the four factors enumerated in 107 asespecially relevant in determining fair use leads to the conclusionthat the use in question here was not fair. (i) The fact that newsreporting was the general purpose of The Nation's use is simply onefactor. While The Nation had every right to be the first to publishthe information, it went beyond simply reporting uncopyrightableinformation and actively sought to exploit the headline value ofits infringement, making a "news event" out of its unauthorizedfirst publication. The fact that the publication was commercial, asopposed to nonprofit, is a separate factor tending to weigh againsta finding of fair use. Fair use presupposes good faith. TheNation's unauthorized use of the undisseminated manuscript had notmerely the incidental effect, but the intended purpose, ofsupplanting the copyright holders' commercially valuable right offirst publication. (ii) While there may be a greater need todisseminate works of fact than works of fiction, The Nation'staking of copyrighted expression exceeded that necessary todisseminate the facts, and infringed the copyright holders'interests in confidentiality and creative control over the firstpublic appearance of the work. (iii) Although the verbatimquotes
