Hmmm. It's interesting to note the other issues that occurred after the Shuttleworths divested themselves of the Magazine. The "bankruptcy" engineered by the new owners, probably to divest THEMselves of the obligations to several thousand of "Mother's Lifers" who forked up a significant wad of cash each to become lifetime subscribers. The new owners simply left them by the wayside, denying any responsibility to them.
The TMEN article doesn't address any of the controversies surrounding this event. Perhaps they should ask employees of BackHome Magazine...
How do we reconcile the "facts" here, when two successive paragraphs (near article's end) have sentences reading:
Paragraph A: "In 1979 editor Bruce Woods and two other employees bought the magazine from the Shuttleworths."
Paragraph B: "The magazine declined, somewhat, with the declining popularity of the back to the land movement in the early 1980s. The Shuttleworths eventually sold the magazine to a major publisher in the mid-1980s, who redesigned the magazine with a much slicker image and repositioned..."
1979 or early 1980s? Sold to editors or sold to a major publisher?
Approaching environmental problems from a down-to-earth, practical, how-to standpoint, Mother Earth News has, since the magazine’s founding in 1970, been a pioneer in the promotion of renewable energy, recycling, family farms, saner agricultural practices, better eating habits, medical self-care, more meaningful education, affordable housing, and, in the process, offered a platform for some of the most far-thinking minds of the day.
To me, this article seems to use loaded words and terms.
The original title was "The Mother Earth News", the current title is just "Mother Earth News". When was the word "The" dropped from the title? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.136.146.24 ( talk • contribs)
In the late 70's and early 80's, Jack Vaughan drew small cartoons that were scattered throughout the pages of TMEN (in a manner similar to the small cartoons sprinkled around the pages of "MAD") and for many issues did a full color page called "The Weird Humor of Jack Vaughan".
When was he born? How many full color pages did he do for TMEN? Has he done any other work? Is he still alive? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.136.146.24 ( talk • contribs)
Jack Vaughan continued to draw his cartoon page for BackHome Magazine and only stopped a few years ago. He still illustrates Geoff Taylor articles for GreenPrints (a gardening magazine based in Fairview, N.C.). John Shuttleworth is the one that came up with the name "The Weird Humor of Jack Vaughan" and it drove Jack crazy. His cartoons in BackHome all had different names. He does not remember how many he drew for either magazine. BillySedan ( talk) 01:28, 11 July 2012 (UTC) BillySedan
If anyone knows more about how this magazine grew from a no-frills, $1500-budget operation produced out of the Shuttleworths' home to a massive, organized enterprise offering summer seminars to 20,000 (!) people and a national radio show, please offer the details.
