Playboy August 1991

COVER STORY A tan and lithe Caprice from L.A.'s Flame Models indulges in some California dreamin'—and so do we in a Playboy pictorial dedicated to the best and the blondest girls of summer. Our cover was produced by West Coast Photo Editor Marilyn Grabowski and shot by Contributing Photographer Stephen Wayda. Thanks to Alexis Vogel for styling Caprice's hair and make-up and to Optical Outlook of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills for the Cartier sunglasses. 5 PLAYBILL 13 DEAR PLAYBOY 19 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 34 STYLE 37 MEN by ASA BABER 39 REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: QUEEN NANCY—opinion ROBERT SCHEER 41 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 45 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 55 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: DARYL GATES—candid conversation 70 BOOMTOWN—fiction CRAIG VETTER 74 YESTERDAY'S WILD CHILD—pictorial 82 LENNY LIVES!—playboy profile JOE MORGENSTERN 84 PLAYBOY COLLECTION—modern living 90 BACK-TO-THE-FUTURE STUFF—article MALCOLM ABRAMS and HARRIET BERNSTEIN 94 VEGAS WINNER—playboy's playmate of the month 106 PLAYBOY'S PARTY JOKES—humor 108 THE MEN FROM DARPA—article JOHN SEDGWICK 110 20 QUESTIONS: ROBERT DOWNEY, JR. 112 THE GOLF CRISIS 114 A CONVERSATION WITH LEE TREVINO JOHN ANDRISANI 116 THE PERFECT LESSON—instruction PHIL RITSON 118 Q SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL—article KEVIN COOK 120 GREAT BOWLS OF FIRE—food JOHN OLDCASTLE 124 PLAYBOY'S AUTOMOTIVE REPORT—article KEN GROSS 126 CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'—pictorial 138 IF YOU CAN'T WALK THE WALK ...
