0 Comments

Branson publishes Student magazine, his first business venture. The debut issue features Vanessa Redgrave, David Hockney and a short story by John le Carre. He describes launching a youth-culture magazine that protests against the Vietnam war:

He sells $8,000 worth of advertising in the first edition, which has a run of 50,000 copies.
