...life more seriously than Hugh Hefner, the man who started it all on his kitchen table back in 1953. He rules his empire and maintains his image as a protean ladies' man from a fieldstone fortress in Los Angeles. It is equipped with battlements in the backyard, outdoor Jacuzzi baths built into a stone grotto and sprawling lawns where flamingos and pet peacocks roam. Mansion West, as the place is called to distinguish it from Hefner's 54-room Chicago playpen now on the block for $2.5 million, cost the company $3 million last year to operate. Hefner...

SITTING IN AN OUTDOOR hot tub during a Cambridge winter seems like an invitation to pneumonia, but Sandy Alexander '79, a California expatriate, says snow and tubs go well together. "My brother and I used to go in an outdoor Jacuzzi up on Mammoth Mountain in the winter. We'd get out and roll around in the snow in our bathing suits, throw snowballs at each other.
