Playboy July 1992

COVER STORY When Miss February 1990, Pamela Anderson, first appeared in Playboy, she said it was "the start of something big." Little did she know that she'd soon be a cast member on ABC's hit sitcom Home Imrpovement. West Coast Photo Editor Marilyn Grabowski produced our cover, styled by Monique St. Pierre and shot by Contributing Photographer Arny Freytag. Thanks to Tracy Cianflone for hair and make-up. The Rabbit quips, "These boots are made for walking." 3 PLAYBILL 9 DEAR PLAYBOY 13 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 27 MEN by ASA BABER 28 STYLE 31 WOMEN by CYNTHIA HEIMEL 33 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 37 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 47 REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: WHY I CAN'T STAND PAT—opinion ROBERT SCHEER 49 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: MICHAEL KEATON—candid conversation 62 MALCOLM X REMEMBERED—article ALEX HALEY 161 IN MEMORIAM: ALEX HALEY MURRAY FISHER 67 GETTING KICKS ON ROUTE 66—pictorial 74 ADVENTURES IN SAFE SEX—article DAN GREENBURG 78 RESTON'S RAT—fiction KEVIN COOK 82 BLOND EXHIBITION—pictorial 86 INVASION OF THE BRAIN PEOPLE—article JERRY STAHL 90 SOLDIER GIRL—playboy's playmate of the month 102 PLAYBOY'S PARTY JOKES—humor 104 THE SLIP—fiction GARY SMITH 106 HIT MEW—fashion HOLLIS WAYNE 112 THE MAN WHO WOULD NOT RUN—profile BARBARA GRIZZUTI HARRISON 116 CHILL OUT—drink F PAUL PACULT 118 LET THE GAMES BEGIN—modern living DAVID ELRICH 122 MED-ALERTI—pictorial: Michelle Bowen, Lisa Nicole, Carole Clarke, Amy Hastings, Mary Ann Smolock, Nicole Hawkins, Michelle Bowen, Kathleen Lee, Amy Green, Cynthia Scott, Joanna Demas, M.D., Renee and Regina James (twins), Lynn Hall, Carmon Johnson, Krista Henry, Julie Leager and Cheri Stuart. 134 20 QUESTIONS: NICOLE KIDMAN 169 PLAYBOY ON THE SCENE
