...Playboy's social and political orientation in the early 1960s reflected a Kennedyesque sensibility," he writes in a typical summation. The effect can be grating-a magazine which calls the naked librarian gracing its pages "as dewy as a decimal system" cannot then be said to embody the Cold War ideological gulf demonstrated by Nixon and Khruschev's "Kitchen Debates." Hefner was a canny brand manager and a social visionary. He prodded the public to bare its darker desires-and in the process demystified sex for a generation.

Nor does it conjure up nostalgic images of fathers and sons huddled around the TV on a cold October evening, wrapping America's favorite pastime in a warm embrace.

...have been coming [due to the economic downturn], since the shelter is only open between Nov. 15 and April 15.” In the meantime, however, Reddick and the rest of Harvard Square’s homeless population, such as David B. Murray, remain out in the October cold. Murray has been homeless ever since his cousin died 3 years ago. He hawks Spare Change newspapers in the Square in order to make ends meet. Although Murray works in Cambridge, he is not allowed in the shelter, due to residency restrictions. Like Reddick, he often goes to the Pine...
