Playboy August 1992

COVER STORY Playboy salutes the North American housewife in a special pictorial—and Margie Murphy kicks off the celebration. Our cover was produced by Senior Photo Editor Michael Ann Sullivan, styled by Violet Warzecha and shot by Contributing Photographer Richard Fegley. Thanks to Panache for Margie's bracelet, Philip Cantrell for her earrings, Margies for her dress and Pat Tomlinson for hair and make-up. Our Rabbit speaks with forked tongue. 3 PLAYBILL 9 DEAR PLAYBOY 13 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 32 MEN by ASA BABER 33 REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: SHOWTIME FOR JERRY—opinion ROBERT SCHEER 35 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 37 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 49 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: DEREK HUMPHRY—candid conversation 60 THE WAY TO SPOOK CITY—fiction ROBERT SILVERBERG 66 HAIL, COLUMBIA—pictorial 72 SEE ROSS RUN—profile ROGER SIMON 139 THE COMPANY HE KEEPS FRANK SNEPP 76 SEX IN ADVERTISING text by EDWARD A.
