In May, he and Dale Jaslove,
his business partner, launched
Michigan HealthCARE Business
Monthly under the aegis of
Lawrence Street Ventures. Their
office is in Southfield.
Today, subscription requests
are pouring in, many of them from
insurance companies, medical
suppliers and law firms.
"The response has been truly
staggering, better than we ever
imagined. 'There's such a need for
the information that our maga-
zine produces, it's just unbeliev-
able," Mr. Kamin says. "We're just
at the beginning of major reform
in the health-care industry and
providers and physicians are al-
ready scared to death of what's go-
ing on out there. We're here to
help them through it."
The tabloid-size glossy is filled
with articles by lawyers, doctors,
accountants and health-care ad-
ministrators on issues that range
from processing claims to hiring
employees to selling a medical
practice. The debut issue features
18 articles.
Unlike other publications de-
voted to the constantly evolving
world of health care — and there
is at least one other locally —
Michigan HealthCARE Business
Monthly is kind of a self-help
guide directed to administrators
of medical practices, hospitals,
nursing homes and physicians.
"We seek out problems and con-
cerns in the health-care industry
and find solutions for the prob-
lems. We don't just report the
news," Mr. Kamin explains.
"The magazine is apolitical.
That's one of the neat things about
it. We have no affiliations with
any group, so they're not going to
get biased editorial. We're on the
cutting edge," he continued.
Lawrence Street Ventures ini-
tially sent out 12,000 issues to the
likeliest subscribers in Wayne,
Oakland, Macomb and Washte-
naw counties. In July, the maga-
zine will begin a controlled
subscription drive, placing cards
in the magazine. The annual rate
is $22.95, but two- and three-year
subscriptions are available.
For every subscription sold, the
magazine will donate $3 to the
Barbara Karamanos Cancer In-
stitute, formerly the Michigan
Cancer Foundation.
Mr. Kamin, who lives in Royal
Oak, says they've already had in-
quiries from private investors who
are interested in starting up sim-
ilar magazines in other states. ❑

B
arry Klein came home to
a hero's welcome on break
from the so-called "Sum-
mer of Love" in 1967's
Haight-Ashbury district of San
Francisco.
"It was like (Norman)
Schwarzkopf coming back from
the Persian Gulf War," the real-
estate consultant recalls.
Maybe the pedestal wasn't as
high or exalted as it seemed. But
the time has come for Mr. Klein
to put those wild, crazy and
bizarre days in perspective.
Like many of his generation
during the '60s, Mr. Klein took
his mantra from LSD guru Tim-
othy Leary: "Turn on, tune in,
drop out." Thirty years later, he's
ready to go public with the
lessons learned from those days.
"Oscar Wilde said, 'Experi-
ence is the name that ma
gives to his mistakes,' " says Mr.
Klein. "Those days were a com-
ing-of-age period, individually
and culturally."
He doesn't partake in hippie
rituals but does readily admit
that he inhaled. In fact, he ad-
mits to a lot more in his re-
counting of that summer 3
years ago in his yet-to-be-pub-
lished memoir, Sex, Drugs and
Rock & Roll: Haight-Ashbury in
the Summer of Love, 1967. The
tag line on the cover pretty well
sums up the author's perspec-
tive: "An Eyewitness Account by
the 'de Tocqueville of Tokeville.' "
While Mr. Klein is represent
ed by an East Coast agent, he
hasn't found a publisher for his
book. However, he just finished
writing last winter.
A self-described prototypical
hippie of that era, Mr. Klein
hardly evokes the disheveled
and anarchist image of an un-
groomed flower child. Thes
days, his hair is neatly trimmed
