...created the more serious half of Playboy's split personality; of a stroke; on St. Croix, Virgin Islands. Playboy Publisher Hugh Hefner's tastes run to fried chicken, cool jazz and Los Angeles weekends; Auguste Comte Spectorsky preferred Continental cuisine, Mozart and Caribbean sailing. When "Spec" joined "Hef's" three-year-old enterprise in 1956, it was a slick girlie magazine in search of some intellectual balance for the bare flesh. Spectorsky provided it by attracting contributions from top fiction writers and journalists. In the process he helped drive the magazine's monthly circulation from nearly...
...Hefner's eight-foot elliptical bed as curious Bunnies clustered round. Something of Big Bunny's ambience may have rubbed off on Big Jack. At first sight of her simian mate, Hazel reacted with immodest delight. Perhaps the Phoenix zookeepers will name the first offspring Little Hef...

The singers were Buddy...
...mass producer of plastic-wrapped sex, the purveyor of pop hedonism, the great anti-Puritan who is out to make every square feel that he too can be a swinger, is looking for a heaven less in the style of Playboy than the Saturday Evening Post. "You know," says Hef wistfully, "in the next ten years I would rather meet a girl and fall in love and have her fall in love with me than make another hundred million dollars." He really means it, or thinks he does...
