...liberated woman of the seventies." Playgirl's editor Marin Scott Milam describes her readers as "intelligent, practical, honest; women who are comfortable with their sexuality who want to know more about everything." Both attempt to market a general interest magazine with erotic overtones. Both have the usual gossip, fashion, fiction, travel, and "how-to" sections. Depending on the magazine, the erotic overtones are either sprinkled lightly in one or two places (Playgirl) or squarely anchored to most articles (Viva...
...essay (February's entitled "Pillow Talk" featured a naked man and a half-dressed woman sporting on their spacious bed), in the personal horoscope (bordered by a male nude in various peek-a-boo poses) and in the advertising (breast stimulators and Frederick's of Hollywood "sex signals").

I doubt that there's one for the neurosciences...

Run to earth in Bermuda and interviewed by Pearson, the real Bond is slightly older than he was at his last appearance in The Man with the Golden Gun (1965). He still has his gun-metal cigarette case, however, and that laconic, infallible way with svelte women and gross villains. Those vodka martinis (shaken, not stirred) are still going down the hatch...
