Playboy October 1983

COVER STORY We didn't want this month's cover to appear un-Kemped, so Miss December 1982, Charlotte Kemp, returns to foreshadow Reds, the most passionate collection of redheads this side of Tipperary (see page 136). Designed by Managing Art Director Kerig Pope, the cover also features a crystal perfume decanter—complete with directional stopper—created for Bill Arsenault's cover photograph. The decanter was designed with Charlotte in mind. 5 PLAYBILL 13 THE WORLD OF PLAYBOY 15 DEAR PLAYBOY 21 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 35 VIEWPOINT: AIDS: JOURNALISM IN A PLAGUE YEAR DAVID NIMMONS 39 MEN ASA BABER 41 WOMEN CYNTHIA HEIMEL 43 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 47 DEAR PLAYMATES 49 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 61 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: HILL STREET BLUES—candid conversation 72 THE LAST GREAT NETWORK OLYMPICS—article RON POWERS 79 BRUNETTE AMBITION—pictorial 84 QUANTRILL AND THE GOLDFISH—fiction REG POTTERTON 87 PLAYBOY'S FALL AND WINTER FASHION FORECAST—attire HOLLIS WAYNE 92 THE PLAYBOY READERS' SEX SURVEY, PART V—article 186 GOING BUMP IN THE NIGHT KATE NOLAN 98 COMING BACK STRONG—playboy's playmate of the month, Tracy Vaccaro 112 PLAYBOY'S PARTY JOKES—humor 114 SPORTING MAN'S GUIDE TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL—sports .
