Playboy December 1985

COVER STORY Great to see those eyes again, isn't it? They belong to one of our all-time faves, Barbi Benton, looking good in a cover photo by Contributing Photographer Richard Fegley and a $65,000 natural Russian crown-sable coat from Somper Furs, Beverly Hills. Is there anything we neglected to mention? Oh, yes. You'll see more Barbi in Barbi, beginning on page 158. 5 PLAYBILL 11 THE WORLD OF PLAYBOY 15 DEAR PLAYBOY 19 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 45 SPORTS BY DAN JENKINS 47 MEN BY ASA BABER 49 WOMEN BY CYNTHIA HEIMEL 51 AGAINST THE WIND BY CRAIG VETTER 55 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 61 DEAR PLAYMATES 63 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 72 VIEWPOINT: PLEASURE AND DANGER JAMES R.
