Playboy October 1997

COVER STORY PLAYBOY gives a big ten to the off-the-field stars of the nation's heartland schools: the Big Ten Conference. Our cover was designed by Senior Art Director Len Willis, shot by Contributing Photographer Richard Fegley and produced by Senior Photo Editor Jim Larson. Thanks to Karen Lynn for wardrobe styling and to Pat Tomlinson for styling model Stacy Fuson's hair and makeup. You have to admit, our strong-armed Rabbit makes one hell of a great wide receiver. 7 PLAYBILL 13 DEAR PLAYBOY 17 PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 19 MOVIES by BRUCE WILLIAMSON 21 VIDEO 22 TRAVEL 26 MUSIC 32 WIRED 38 BOOKS 40 HEALTH & FITNESS 41 MEN by ASA BABER 43 THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 49 THE PLAYBOY FORUM 59 PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: TOMMY HILFIGER—candid conversation 70 COED CONFIDENTIAL—article ALISON LUNDGREN 74 MAD ABOUT CRISTINA—pictorial 80 CRUDE, DUDE!—article SHANE DUBOW 84 BACK TO CAMPUS FASHION HOLLIS WAYNE 90 THE KIND OF LUXURIES WE FELT WE DESERVED—college fiction winner JONATHAN BLUM 94 LAYLA—playboy's playmate of the month 106 PARTY JOKES—humor 109 PLAYBOY'S PIGSKIN PREVIEW—sports GARY COLE 115 PLAYBOY GALLERY: JOAN SEVERANCE 116 DRIVETIME—watches 118 PLAYBOY JAll & ROCK POLL 124 20 QUESTIONS: TEA LEONI 126 AMERICA'S TOP 100 COLLEGE BARS LARRY OLMSTED 130 GIRLS OF THE BIG TEN—pictorial 154 WHERE & HOW TO BUY 175 PLAYMATE NEWS 179 PLAYBOY ON THE SCENE
