...girls, and rather normal women at that. Reflecting European tastes, Playmen does not display the mammary obsession that Playboy profitably discerns in Americans. Says Publisher Tattilo: "The U.S. is a matriarchy. I think this is the reason for the American male preference for women with exaggerated, voluminous bosoms, true wet nurses with a reassuring maternal aspect." The women she chooses for Playmen are slimmer, cooler, more urbane and more mature than Hefner's coed cuties. Hefner's girls giggle and eat ice cream; Tattilo's taste centers on women who might smile over a Campari...
...personal identity and love-the sort of things the Nearings could take for granted in 1932. If they find what they are looking for, the discovery could help redeem the country. In the meantime they could do worse than heed the word from Cold Comfort Farm: Keep your compost wet. After a hard winter, even a turnip can look like a godsend...

It has actually taken them ten minutes just to compose themselves enough to face the real world again...

The director of Airport knew what he was about even if Segal didn't: a shrewd remake of a Claudette Colbert-Bette Davis tear-jerker, a wet and sloppy romantic interlude which ends in no good for one more tough American broad. Although the death watch exploits Ryan O'Neal as the rebellious scion with a lump in his throat, the real focus of this 1940 star-posturing is Ali McGraw. (Had she worn the midi...
...Wings was "the dirtiest player in the league." Named Rookie of the Year, Sanderson naturally hurried into print with his autobiography. In I've Got To Be Me, he offered his philosophy: "I like a swinging chick who grooves on life. One who's kind of warm, wet and wild." In his bachelor digs he installed a bar, mood lighting, a wall-to-wall white fur rug, and a circular bed beneath a mirrored ceiling...
