Playboy August 1990

COVER STORY Looking radical in her lifeguard suit, Baywatchable Erika Eleniak returns to grace our pages and show off her tan lines. She sizzled our centerfold as Miss July 1989, and now she's hotter than ever. Our cover was produced by West Coast Photo Editor Marilyn Grabowski, styled by Jennifer Smith-Ashley and shot by Contributing Photographer Stephen Wayda. Make-up and hair are by Tami Morris. Armed but not dangerous, our Rabbit is ready for action. 3 PLAYBILL 10 DEAR PLAYBOY 15 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 33 SPORTS DAN JENKINS 34 MEN by ASA BABER 37 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 41 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 50 REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: UP TO HERE WITH GREEN—opinion ROBERT SCHEER 53 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: LARRY KING—candid conversation 64 BODY—fiction HARRY CREWS 68 BEAUTY ON THE BEACH—pictorial 76 WOUNDED COUNTRY—article JONATHAN SILVERS 78 THE FINE PRINT—fashion HOLLIS WAYNE 81 A SALUTE TO SOFTBALL—sports 90 BLUEGRASS BELLE—playboy's playmate of the month, Melissa Evridge 102 PLAYBOY'S PARTY JOKES—humor 104 JERRY SEINFELD'S BLAND AMBITION—personality STEPHEN RANDALL 107 CALLING DICK TRACY—fashion HOLLIS WAYNE 110 MAYBE THERE IS A GOD—ethics JOE DOMANICK 112 THINK BIG, REAL BIG!—modern living LAWRENCE B.
