Founders say time is right for magazine catering to fathers
Article Abstract:
The publishers of 'dads,' a magazine aimed at fathers, are confident about the timing of the magazine's introduction in Jun 2000. Seth Kean, Walter Rosenthal and Eric Garland cited studies that show that today's fathers are more interested in raising their children compared to fathers of even a generation ago. The number of mothers going into the workforce has resulted in an increasing role played by fathers in the area of child rearing.

The investigation is looking at the companies for the simulated invoice issues and possibly for the mailing of actual invoices for unordered subscriptions.
