...have used many art forms for " TIME covers-painting, drawing, cartoon, collage, woodcut, sculpture -but never before the special blend that makes up this week's cover on Playboy Editor Hugh Hefner. It is the work of Marisol, whose highly original and wryly appealing style joins wood sculpture, drawing and painting (not to mention carpentry) in a unique combination. The components of her portraits may be odd -a box, a block, a barrel-but they perceptively convey likeness as well as character.

"Either out of ignorance or malice," she wailed, "he has made being for peace equal to being for Communism, the Viet Cong and narcotics." Just as captiously, the cartoonist growled that Joanie wasn't Joan. "She should remember that protest singers don't own protest. When she protests about others' rights to protest, she is killing the whole racket...
