In partnership with Escapade, a cable programmer that bills itself as an "adult entertainment service," Playboy last month launched the first in a series of one-hour video magazines into 200,000 homes.

Hefner, a vice president of dad's Playboy Enterprises, says she came to the convention from Chicago as an alternate Carter delegate "to lobby for the minority platform on abortion and try to make a difference on women's issues." That is exactly what she did, dawn to dusk and gavel to gavel, while many another delegate was hopping around town. "People...
