Playboy June 1986

COVER STORY It's Kathy Shower, our Playmate of the Year, photographed by Stephen Wayda. Kathy's leather jacket is by Jean-Claude Jitrois for Gloria Blackburn, and her make-up and hair are by Tracy Cianflone. If you want to see even more of Kathy, pick up the latest Playboy Video Magazine cassette (Kathy's on the cover) at your dealer's. If that's still not enough, we're planning a follow-up video on Kathy, to be released later this year. 3 PLAYBILL 9 THE WORLD OF PLAYBOY 11 DEAR PLAYBOY 17 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 33 SPORTS BY DAN JENKINS 35 MEN BY ASA BABER 37 WOMEN BY CYNTHIA HEIMEL 39 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 41 DEAR PLAYMATES: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HEAR A MAN SAY AFTER SEX? 43 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 52 AIDS UPDATE: MYTHS AND REALITIES 55 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR—candid conversation 70 HORSE LAUGH—fiction DONALD E.
