...issues have closed, but this spring Hustler and its sister skin-book Chic (circ. 436,305) will begin depicting "a healthy attitude toward sex, mixed in with a spiritual message," says Flynt. "We will no longer treat women as pieces of meat." Specifically, Flynt plans to discontinue vaginal closeups, banish all flesh from the cover and sanitize a few regular features: "Asshole of the Month" will become "Turkey of the Month," for instance, and "Chester the Molester" will be renamed "Chester the Protector" and reassigned to guarding young girls from evil.

A settlement, he stressed, cannot be imposed; it must...
