Playboy May 1996

COVER STORY You know these women on a first-name basis—Cindy, Claudia, Stephanie, Elle, Kate. This month, PLAYBOY takes a look at the wrld's top cover girls as they drop their covers and show us something extra. We extend our special thanks to Dana Fineman of Sygma for our cover shot of premium supermodel Cindy Crawford. As you can see, our Rabbit has no inhibitions—he loves to neck. 3 PLAYBILL 9 DEAR PLAYBOY 13 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 16 MUSIC 18 MEDIA by STEPHEN RANDALL 22 MOVIES by BRUCE WILLIAMSON 25 VIDEO 26 STYLE 28 BOOKS by DIGBY DIEHL 30 MEN by ASA BABER 32 WOMEN by CYNTHIA HEIMEL 35 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 37 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 47 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: RAY BRADBURY—candid conversation 58 CAN FRIENDS DO IT?—article 62 ELECTRA—pictorial 68 NEWT—playboy profile MOLLY IVINS 72 ROCKIN' FASHION—fashion HOLLIS WAYNE 80 PLAYBOY'S 1996 BASEBALL PREVIEW—sports KEVIN COOK 85 PLAYBOY GALLERY: DEBRA JO FONDREN 86 SOUND ADVICE—home audio GLENN KENNY 162 MUSIC TO THEIR EARS 90 THE RISE OF RADIO U.—article MARK JANNOT 94 RENEGADE BRIDE— Playboy's playmate of the month Shauna Sand 106 PARTY JOKES—humor 108 THE SOCIAL HISTORY OF ROCK STARS AND SUPERMODELS—article CHRISTOPHER NAPOLITANO 110 TABLE STAKES—modern living 113 PLAYMATE REVISITED: CYNTHIA MYERS 116 TERMINATION DUST—fiction T CORAGHESSAN BOYLE 120 SUPERMODELS—pictorial 134 PLAYBOY MUSIC 1996—article 141 ALANIS MORISSETTE IS A BIG DEAL—article CHARLES M.
