...this time in Washington. Noelle manages to hire Larry, recently out of work and desperate for a job, as the pilot of her private plane. She subjects him to one humiliation on top of another before he finally retaliates by brutally kissing her. She melts and love, or rather lust, conquers all. The two plan to murder Larry's wife and the story goes on. And on. Ad infinitum. Ad nauseum...
...made headlines, and its most notable coup, the 1976 interview with Jimmy Carter, is surely the most candid self-analysis ever volunteered by anyone about to become President. (Playboy has been capitalizing on Carter's famous word ever since, assuring advertisers that the Playboy reader's "lust for life" makes him an impulsive big spender.)

Nor is there any real reason to suppose Noland could actually be to his generation...
...those screaming fans were bumming me out bad, making me feel like some gladiator on his last legs in the Coliseum. Then through the fog in my mind came the realization that the cheers were voiced not in blood lust or competitive drive, but in appreciation of personal achievement. Like "Rocky," I had gone the distance, and despite the cheers it was a very private accomplishment, a very private reward...
