Playboy August 1988

COVER STORY Canadian beauty Kimberley Conrad admitted to us in her January Playmate story that she had a soft spot in her heart for American men. She has certainly captured the attention of one such man: Kimberley has become the new woman in Hef's life. The cover was photographed by Contributing Photographer Stephen Wayda and produced by West Coast Photo Editor Marilyn Grabowski. You'll find a pocketful of miracles when you spot the hare. 1 PLAYBILL 7 DEAR PLAYBOY 11 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 22 SPORTS BY DAN JENKINS 24 MEN BY ASA BABER 25 WOMEN BY CYNTHIA HEIMEL 27 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 31 DEAR PLAYMATES 33 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 43 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: HARVEY FIERSTEIN—candid conversation 58 THE DEAD MAN'S EYES—fiction ROBERT SILVERBERG 63 THE GREAT PALIMONY CAPER—article 70 THEN CAME GORBACHEV—article ROBERT SCHEER 74 CHARLIE SHEEN PLAYS BALL—fashion HOLLIS WAYNE 82 LORDS OF THE FLIES—modern living GEOFFREY NORMAN 88 THE MAN WHO CREATED RAMBO—article DAVID MORRELL 90 HELLE—playboy's playmate of the month 102 PLAYBOY'S PARTY JOKES—humor 104 A MAN'S GUIDE TO WOMEN'S MAGAZINES—compendium 110 20 QUESTIONS: HARRY EDWARDS 112 ASPEN WHEN IT'S HOT—travel TOM PASSAVANT 114 ASPEN WHEN IT WAS COOL—memoir CRAIG VETTER 116 THE GIRL WHO TOOK LESSONS—fiction HARRY TURTLEDOVE 118 THE SUNSHINE GIRLS—pictorial 130 FAST FORWARD 155 PLAYBOY ON THE SCENE
