...Playboy Channel, which airs daily from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., E.S.T., is an expanded video version of Publisher Hugh Hefner's glossy magazine, minus the good writing. Ribald Classics presents softcore, soft-minded dramatizations of often less than classic tales in a visual style somewhat reminiscent of gauzy old Clairol commercials. Playboy on the Scene brings the monthly centerfolds to life, though not intelligent life, in filmed segments showing their phantasmagoric photo sessions (as Miss December dutifully undrapes for the 9th time, she purrs: "I'm a very touchy-feely person").

Said Robert Hefner, president of GHK Co., an independent Oklahoma City gas producer: "We're getting double-crossed, and we're going to fight like hell...
...attracted to women with nice soft arms and a fleshy bosom." Playboy magazine's 1982 Playmate of the Year, Shannon Tweed, is about the same height and weight as Mariel Hemingway, but her contours are different ? in the soft lines and curves that her beau, Publisher Hugh Hefner, finds so attractive. She will not try to change: "I think you can get too muscular. I'm not the jealous type, but I'd be jealous of a woman with drop-dead curves rather than of a woman with an athletic build. Somewhere there is a happy medium between Fonda...
