SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES: The cutting remark most often used to describe magazine publishers: They all want to be editors. However, sometimes all a publisher wants is the kind of fawning attention from the press that only an editor can get.

Perennial problem child and Glamour publisher Bill Wackermann is said to be miffed about his magazine's mention on AdWeek's Hot List for 2006, according to three sources at Cond?© Nast. And what for, since the nod is usually considered one of the biggest honors of the year? Because of this blurb next to Glamour's place at number nine: "Editor [in chief] Cindi Leive is credited with restoring this Cond?© Nast fashion/beauty title to its formidable roots with a smart, sharp edit that earned it a National Magazine Award last spring."

The Leive mention prompted Wackermann to gripe to confidants last week, "But I'm the one who did it." He was referring to Glamour's turnaround, though he could have meant securing a place on the Hot List, given the amount of lobbying he apparently put into it. Said one publisher: "He had done some campaigning for it." By January, Wackermann is said to have considered Glamour's inclusion a lock. After one colleague congratulated him on having a good year during the annual Cond?© Nast publisher's retreat in Florida, he said, "Yeah, just one more milestone to go," referring to AdWeek.

FORD GETS SLIMANED: Christian Dior designer Hedi Slimane proves he's fashionable and needles Tom Ford in the new style issue of The New Yorker, on newsstands today. In an interview with Nick Paumgarten, Slimane says of briefly having Ford as a boss at Yves Saint Laurent, "Reporting to Tom was not going to happen ... I don't respect him, not at all. He is not a designer. He is a marketing man."

That's tough talk from a skinny man in skintight suits. Paumgarten says in the article that Slimane stays whip-thin by eating baby food, and finds the non-model models he uses in his shows by going on "boy safari," usually in London.

An Article in Harper's Ignites a Controversy Over H.I.V.
By LIA MILLER
3/13/06
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/13/business/media/13harpers.html

In his last issue as the editor of Harper's Magazine, Lewis Lapham has left a parting gift for his successor: a firestorm in the media and among AIDS researchers.

The source is a 15-page article in the March issue, titled "Out of Control: AIDS and the Corruption of Medical Science," by Celia Farber. Ms. Farber, a longtime magazine journalist, has been a polarizing figure because she has frequently written about the position of "AIDS dissidents," who argue that H.I.V. does not cause AIDS.

The Harper's article centers on a clinical trial in Uganda for the drug Nevirapine that was later criticized for poor methodology and treatment of some test subjects. But the final third of the article focuses on the tangentially related topic of Dr. Peter Duesberg, a professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and a leading AIDS dissident, and his strained relationship with the National Institutes of Health.
