...satin suit was cut up to here and down to there, her white cottontail jiggled provocatively, and her accomplishments included the "bunny dip," which enabled her to serve drinks without bending too far over. Thus the Playboy bunny, for 26 years the just-out-of-reach embodiment of the Playboy philosophy in Hugh Hefner's Key Clubs. But alas, what was once risque is now passe, not to mention money losing. This week Hefner is closing the three remaining (out of a high of 17) Playboy-owned clubs, in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. Reunions in the latter...

A television commercial pictures little old George standing next to and talking tough to this big fat general. All these attempts to reach the public bring little credibility to Bachrach's complaint that the Kennedy campaign is simply a name and no substance...
Everyone everywhere can drink Coke (almost $3 billion in foreign sales) and wear Levi's ($600 million) and watch Little House on the Prairie (broadcast in 110 countries). The lingua franca dispersion of English is both a cause and an effect of pop's global reach, but American pop commodities are also successful abroad because they work. Blue jeans are well designed and rugged. Most Hollywood filmmaking is technically impeccable. "American TV is extraordinarily beguiling to the Poles," says Sociologist Jeffrey Goldfarb, who lived in Warsaw for 18 months, "for the technical quality alone...
