Playboy June 1984

COVER STORY The lady's going places—Barbara Edwards is our Playmate of the Year for 1984. On the cover, shot by Contributing Photographer Arny Freytag and produced by West Coast Photo Editor Marilyn Grabowski, Barbara's getting into training. She won't have to do much more training, though. She's in excellent shape already (see page 134), and her prizes include a 1984 Jaguar XJS. 5 PLAYBILL 13 THE WORLD OF PLAYBOY 15 DEAR PLAYBOY 21 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 37 MEN BY ASA BABER 39 WOMEN BY CYNTHIA HEIMEL 41 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 45 DEAR PLAYMATES 49 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 59 VIEWPOINT: REAGAN'S STAR WARS PLAN WON'T WORK KOSTA TSIPIS 63 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: JESSE JACKSON—candid conversation 78 MY LIFE IN PINSTRIPES—memoir REGGIE JACKSON with MIKE LUPICA 82 EMMANUELLE IV—pictorial 88 THE AFFAIR—fiction ROBERT SILVERBERG 92 DRESSED FOR THE QUEST—attire HOLLIS WAYNE 96 SKANK OR DIE—article CHARLES M.
