Inside Story: King's ransom: The Plant was heralded as a turning point in publishing. The novel would be provided on the internet in instalments - as long as enough people paid up. Stephen King , who suspended its publication after six episodes, reveals what he has learned from his online adventure
In July of last year, I began publishing a serial novel at my website, Stephenking.com. The idea was one episode a month, pay as you go . . . and pay by the honour system. My inspiration was the newspaper vendors in New York City during the first half of the last century. Many of those hired for the job were blind, because the distribs felt that even slightly dishonest people wouldn't steal from a blind newsboy. My experiment has far from run its course, but the first phase of it concludes later this month, when part six of The Plant - by far the longest - goes up, this time for free. In the modest hoopla that has surrounded the publication of The Plant, very few media analysts bothered to talk about the story itself (possibly because they didn't bother to read it). The Plant happens to be about a voracious supernatural vine that begins to grow wild in a paperback publishing house. It offers success, riches, and the always desir able Bigger Market Share. All it wants from you in return is a little flesh, a little blood, and maybe a piece of your soul. What made The Plant such a hilarious internet natural (at least to my admittedly twisted mind) was that publishers and media people seem to see exactly this sort of monster whenever they contemplate the net in general and e-lit in particular: a troublesome strangler fig that just might have a bit o' the old profit in it. If, that is, it's handled with gloves.

Quote / Unquote
If the 20th century was, as [Time co-founder Henry R.] Luce also said, the American Century, it was largely because our system, espousing freedom of markets and freedom of the individual, rewarding talent instead of class and pedigree, bred a group of leaders whose single-minded fixation on getting rich -- and creating great products in the process -- led to unheard-of levels of productivity and prosperity.

Advertising
''Time does not care whether you advertise in Time, Sports Illustrated, or what,'' one agency executive said. ''As long as you spend the money, it's O.K.'' What also encouraged agency people was that advertisers could choose where they wanted to take their space credits. If Time's flexibility is good news for advertisers, the bad news, as one executive said, is that print buying is getting even more complex. ''Before, we just bought Time magazines'' on a one-by-one basis, he said. ''Now we have to look at the Time buy as a whole company purchase,'' he said. The program applies to Time, Life, Sports Illustrated, People, Money, Fortune, Southern Living and Southern Accents. On the other hand, the plan, which offers space credits, rather than discounts, has its own attraction for agencies. The plan does not actually reduce advertiser spending by giving discounts. One publishing executive added: ''The new plan encourages clients to maintain advertiser spending and get bonus exposures. Pure discount encourages clients to get similar exposure for less and to take that differential to the bottom line.''

WHEN YOU'RE HOT, YOU'RE NOT
Does the hot hand really exist? To find out, Tversky and two colleagues, Robert Vallone of Stanford and Thomas Gilovich of Cornell, interviewed Philadelphia 76ers coach Billy Cunningham and his players about shooting, and then studied detailed records of 48 of the Sixers' games in the 1980-81 season. The players estimated that they were about 25 percent more likely to make a shot after a hit than after a miss. In fact, the reseachers found, the opposite was true--the 76ers were 6 percent more likely to score after a miss than after a hit. Darryl Dawkins, for whom this effect was largest, made 71 percent of the shots he took after misses and 57 percent of those after hits.
