...Zero Garbo. The selection of the right nude from among hundreds of transparencies is taken at least as seriously by the Playboy staff as, say, choosing the proper tribal dance for a lead page in the National Geographic. Dialogue between Art Director Paul and Editor Hefner when choosing pictures for the Playmates-of-the-year feature...
Hefner knows exactly what he wants. He likes the young, pouty type without complications or excessive intelligence. Riper beauties he summarily dismisses. "Jeanne Moreau is a fine actress," he once said. "But as a woman she tells me zero. And zero to Greta Garbo. I think that when Sophia Loren was 20 she had a fantastic body. But that is all."

...howling blast began Thursday morning. By midafternoon, Chicago's streets were clogged by wind-whipped snowdrifts and stalled autos. With traffic at a standstill and visibility at zero, tens of thousands of marooned workers had to spend the night in firehouses, hospitals and hotels.

A 50-year-old woman suffered a fatal heart attack on a stalled bus at 5 a.m. Friday. Not until six hours later could snowbound police remove her body...
...retired psychology professor dying of cancer, in Glendale, Calif., had decided years ago that he wanted his body preserved by freezing for later revival if possible. He had left $4,200 for a steel capsule and for liquid nitrogen to keep his body frozen at about 200° below zero centigrade. When Bedford died on Jan. 12, his physician, Dr. B. Renault Able, began to pack the body in ice. Members of the Cryonics Society of California arrived to help. They spent eight hours, sending out periodically for more ice, getting the body frozen solid. They used artificial respiration...
