Second City, natural home of one-term Jane and Al Capone Donahue (Phil) and Banks (Ernie) Clarence Darrow, big attorney Mayor Daley, William Paley The Trib's McCormick, Ebony's Johnson Kup and Hef and Gloria Swanson City that works! No social strife! And at least one man who danced with his wife...
...worked very hard at developing its image and standing for quality," he says. "That image, over 27 years, has been established in a very positive way." It also has had a salutary effect on Escapade. Before the Playboy partnership, Escapade was available on some 100 cable systems.

There is talk of an eventual successor to Hef as chief. One candidate for the title: his daughter Christie, 24, who is now concentrating on new magazine development and presumably one day will wind up owning a big chunk of Hefner's 72% of Playboy stock, at present worth $48 million...
