Playboy January 1988

COVER STORY The holidays are a time for puttin' on the ritz, so this month's cover is decked out with a painting by artist Robert Hoppe, a legend for his glamorous art-deco cityscapes. Hoppe's version of the high life, Playboy style, recalls the days of the Ziegfeld Follies, but his dramatic vision is timeless. If you can't find the Rabbit right away, we suggest you ask a friend to drive. 5 PLAYBILL 11 THE WORLD OF PLAYBOY 13 DEAR PLAYBOY 17 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 32 SPORTS BY DAN JENKINS 34 MEN BY ASA BABER 36 WOMEN BY CYNTHIA HEIMEL 37 AGAINST THE WIND CRAIG VETTER 39 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 43 DEAR PLAYMATES 45 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 55 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER—candid conversation 74 THE SURGEON—fiction ROALD DAHL 78 KIM—pictorial 86 THE SIXTIES: A REAPPRAISAL PART ONE: GOOD RIDDANCE—essay ....
