Playboy October 2004

COVER STORY We sent scouts to find the most beautiful girls on campus at the 11 universities that make up the expanded Atlantic Coast Conference. Then photographers George Georgiou, Mizuno and David Rams asked the coeds—including cover model Evelyn Gery, shot by Georgiou—to take a break from their books long enough to document their A+ anatomies. Our Rabbit raises his flag in a rush of school spirit. FEATURES 70 WHY THE MILITARY NEVER LEARNS In 1971 this colonel called the Vietnam war a failure. Now he believes the war in Iraq is an even bigger military blunder. The two are surprisingly similar: We went in under false pretenses, using ineffective conventional tactics and without an exit strategy. Will the outcome of the war in Iraq be as awful as that of Vietnam? No, he says; it will be much worse. BY DAVID H. HACKWORTH 84 RIP. BURN. DIE. It wasn't easy to coordinate, but we arranged for a dream team of music experts from all sides—artist, industry and technology—to butt heads. Perry Farrell, Moby, Rick Rubin, Chuck D, Sharon Osbourne, iTunes' Chris Bell and 13 others discuss why the music industry is seen as evil, whether the quality of music has deteriorated, why some live concerts are no longer hot tickets and, most important, what they predict for the future of music. BY DAVID SHEFF AND ROB TANNENBAUM 88 GAMING GROWS UP The video game industry has finally admitted that games aren't just for kids. In a PLAYBOY exclusive, we carefully select our favorite pixelated vixens and have them reprogrammed as you've never seen them before—nude. Plus, the must-have games in every category: war, driving and fighting. 112 FATAL LEGACY Caviar is emblematic of the good life. But selling "black gold" can be a dirty business, as the rise and fall of the Sobol family epitomizes. In 1992 two brothers inherited a caviar business from their father. The younger son took the helm and began buying sturgeon roe from questionable suppliers while driving the expanding business deep into debt; his older brother struggled to rescue their father's dream. By August 2003 both were dead. BY SIMON COOPER 127 CENTERFOLDS ON SEX: SANDRA HUBBY We eavesdrop on Sandra's erotic fantasies. 128 20Q JIMMY FALLON Many comedians who leave Saturday Night Live are cursed with unsuccessful films. Jimmy Fallon's new movie, Taxi, proves he won't be one of them. The former SNL anchorman goofs around about dancing with Jagger, his gift for impersonations and his childhood desire to become a priest. BY ERIC SPITZNAGEL FICTION 94 AQUA VELVA SMITTY fi A man kills his mentally challenged mistress. Even worse, his nosy neighbor sees the whole thing go down through a hole in the wall. BY SARA JOAN BERNIKER INTERVIEW 59 DONALD TRUMP He has weathered near-bankruptcy, two tabloid divorces from blonde bombshells, countless cracks about his comb-over and renewed fame with the success of The Apprentice. In a Playboy Interview in which no one gets fired, we ask the real estate mogul how much money he carries in his wallet, if he's sick of hearing the catchphrase he made famous and whether he'd bet on his own casinos. BY DAVID HOCHMAN PICTORIALS 76 THE RAEL WORLD The group of UFO believers wants to clone its most beautiful members. We believe! 98 PLAYMATE: KIM HOLLAND This sexy coed knows the As, Bs and Cs of sex appeal. 130 GIRLS OF THE ACC We like college football. But we love college girls.
