...attention," says Christie, who has been following her father's "Playboy Philosophy" since she was 18 and began rooming with a college boy friend. Alas, she will apparently disappoint feminist critics of the bare-skin magazine. "My presence speaks for itself," she asserts loftily, "and belies the chauvinist claims against Playboy...
...life to working in ways that I thought would bring about such qualitative change. I went through many of the things that a lot of middle-class or upper-class people do or particularly women. We have kind of more time and more freedom and in a male chauvinist world, I don't think people pay a great deal of attention, or didn't, as to what we did and nobody took it terribly seriously.

...also probably meet some men here who say they're sexist and proud of it. Some men during my freshman year countered a proposed women's table in the Union with a "Male Chauvinist Pig's Table."

...Peace. Now, more than half a century after the Revolution, this is the era of what the party calls "the new Soviet man." The Bolsheviks would hardly recognize him. He is not a liberal democrat, but he would like to be a consumer. He is a patriot, even a chauvinist, but he is friendlier to foreigners than his police force appreciates. He probably does not want to read The Gulag Archipelago even if he could, but he thought Arthur Hailey's Airport, a bestseller in the Soviet Union, was fascinating. He drinks too much, his government says, and watches...
