Speaking of boxing, the Ali-Evangelista fight was the most exciting thing I've seen since Evel Knieval's jump over the Snake River Canyon a few years ago. On second thought, there may be more to that analogy than I thought. Maybe Ali, like Knievel, proved that he was over the hill. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that...

Hustler has printed photos of a brunette being ravished by a snake, a pictorial feature of a nude woman 8½ months pregnant, and gruesome illustrations of various genital and gynecological oddities.

Every issue features photographs sent in by readers, displaying the private parts...
