Sounds like Rolling Stone will have a good
profile of what is known about Bush's activities from 1972-73, although it's unclear whether they will have new information or will just summarize what is already known and opine on what must have taken place:
Just what kind of guy was President Bush during his character-defining early adulthood?
An aimless, inconsiderate, womanizing drunkard - if you believe Rolling Stone's article detailing how the 26-year-old Bush allegedly used his family connections to evade National Guard duties, was lazy and unreliable at his civilian job and boasted to colleagues about the benefits of being the grandson of a powerful United States senator.
Author Paul Alexander writes about Bush's so-called missing year from May 1972 to May 1973, when the future President was on the campaign payroll of failed Alabama Senate candidate Winton Blount and trying to "game the system."

According to candidate Blount's nephew, Murphy Archibald, "Bush regularly didn't show [at campaign headquarters] until noon or later, and then would leave four or five hours after that," Alexander writes.

"Bush seemed to assume no liability for his behavior - and knew he didn't have to," Alexander writes, and again quotes Archibald: "George had one story he told a lot ... about how he was always getting picked up by the police in New Haven during his time at Yale, and how they would always let him go when they found out his grandfather was [former Sen.] Prescott Bush. ... I thought it was stunning. He knew he was bulletproof because of his family.' "
It appears there are at least some new interviews with Roy Blount's nephew, who was there at the time and would have some first hand perspective. While it's not clear whether there will be any new bombshells, every new piece on this topic matters, and could help push the story into the public consciousness.
