What prompted HUSTLER to open up its sexy centerfold girls? Why does HUSTLER stir up controversy among liberals and conservatives alike with broadminded, "borderline" nude studies? How have we reached the point of offering the only real alternative to buyers of men's magazines? Our exclusive Anniversary "Interview" with Publisher and Editor Larry C. Flynt, will give you answers to these and more readers' questions. Appropriately, we've featured Althea Leasure, our Assistant Publisher and Vice-President of Mini Clubs, in our First LIFE-SIZED Centerfold. Kind of validates our entire approach to publishing HUSTLER. But don't spend all your time there. "Adolescent Fantasy" is back, this time in the "Farmer's Daughter." Our first annual "HONEYS In Review" gives you thirteen beautiful women you don't want to forget. The celebration also includes Therese, "Grass Don't Grow on a Racetrack," and "Heavenly" Celeste. The first time you got laid can mean a variety of things and often brings back mixed memories. For some people it was a little more difficult than others, and 'coming close' could have meant not coming at all. NORMAN THADDEUS VANE, Hollywood script-writer and film producer, gives us his impression of that foreboding first fuck in this month's humorous sex-fiction. To his credit, Vane was the first editor of Penthouse — while it was still in London — and claims to have fucked every one of the darling English "innocents" who appeared there that year. He is now working-to-completion a film version of "Ram," through his own company, Belgravia Productions. As if there aren't enough economic problems plaguing the world today, there was one Hustler a couple of years ago (before Vesco made it free and clear to Costa Rica) who made the "big play" pay off. That was Bernie Cornfeld, the subject of this month's profile by FRANK THISTLE (December, 1974, "Burlesque Bounces Back.") Cornfeld's girls (who included his mother), games and rewards reaped him a neat $30 million while his brainchild, Investors' Overseas Service, crumbled into ash along with a thousand dreams. SKIP FICKLING makes his debut in HUSTLER with our New "Astrological Guide to Sex & Money." We think in these days of uncertainty it might be a good idea to play the stars, and star-gazer Fickling will be making it worth your while. "Porn Review" takes on a new dimension this month with "X-Rated Book" reviews by writer-reviewer JIM MARTIN. Martin, a columnist for the Chicago Herald-Tribune, is also giving readers another first with "Film Talk," a lively bit of information on what's happening behind the scenes in the film world. Naturally, we've got all our regular features, starting with "Feedback," "Advise & Consent," "Bits & Pieces," and the fabulous cartoon, "HONEY." "Sex Play" delves into anal intercourse; an incredible "Kinky Korner" written by JACK ARNOLD describes the trials and tribulations of a first-time slave; and authoress WENDY GREENFIELD joins the "Mile-High Club." One more thing. We've got illustrations in the Anniversary Issue that are tops in the field. Take a close look this month. We think you'll agree. Good reading to you. Managinging Editor PUBLSHER'S STATEMENT In 1973 the Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision (Miller vs. California) regarding sexually explicit materials. The decision was' an apparent abnegation of the Court's responsibility to determine whether or not sexually explicit materials are obscene. It gave those powers to state, county and city jurisdictions (local). Under the 1st Amendment we are guaranteed both freedom of speech and freedom of press. But according to Miller vs. California (5-4), the Court "revised its definition to '(1) whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest; (2) whether the work depicts or describes in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law; (3) whether the work taken as a whole lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.' " The essential quality of this offensive, persnickety approach to the pursuit of happiness has given an adultbehavior-regulating privilege to state, county and lesser administrators who would rather be re-elected than sexually satisfied. What the decision meant to the media-communications industry was the impending onslaught of "contradictory and restrictive legislation on the state level. Not only did this happen, but numerous serious books, films, and magazines were attacked across the country." The same year, 1973, seven national trade associations allied themselves in an effort to alert and inform their members and the public of events in obscenity legislation and of the dangers inherent in any type of censorship. Recently, Indiana legislators submitted "S.46," a bill designed in part to "prohibit display of material on premises where minors have access." According to Media Coalition, Inc., "Community standards are not defined." What this means to drugstores, supermarkets, newsstands, bookstores and anywhere else that men's magazines, women's magazines and even satirical magazines such as the National Lampoon are displayed, is that customers under the age of 18 are not allowed to enter the store, if said magazines are reputed to be obscene. You won't be able to buy HUSTLER, Playboy, Oui, Playgirl, or any of the other titles you can buy almost anywhere because booksellers won't risk prosecution under new and capricious local obscenity rulings. In a previous publisher's statement (March), I stated that, "No one made you read this magazine." That statement is still true. The impact of rulings like the one in Indiana can only lead to restriction of rights and privileges guaranteed under the 1st Amendment. It can conceivably ruin businesses and industries associated with the legitimate media, film and publishing included. And it threatens the American people with nihilistic, big-brother-like controls over what many of us believe is natural and pleasing. If you want to do something about these "New Victorian" rulings, write your Congressperson and give light to your views. If you don't care what your rights are, you are still free to remain silent.
