From the beginning, he had literary aspirations for Playboy, hiring top writers to give his magazine cultural credibility. It became a running joke that the cognoscenti read Playboy “for the articles” and demurely averted their eyes from the pages depicting bare-breasted women.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Playboy also had a surprisingly high readership among members of the clergy — who received a 25 percent subscription discount — and women.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;“Hefner was, first and foremost, a brilliant businessman,” David Allyn, author of “Make Love, Not War: The Sexual Revolution, an Unfettered History,” told The Washington Post in an interview. “He created Playboy at a time when America was entering a period of profound economic and social optimism. His brand of sexual liberalism fit perfectly with postwar aspirations.”&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;you can read more of this particular article on the washington post.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.qvc.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/34767"&gt;@sunshine45&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Have you read the &lt;I&gt;Rolling Stone&lt;/I&gt;&amp;nbsp;article about him?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;August, 2000 issue....just Google.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My radio station guys were talking about it. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Interesting to hear a male’s perspective since &lt;U&gt;a boy’s&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;first Playboy is almost a rite of passage.&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes, and I'm sure it's the articles that draw them in.&amp;nbsp; I'm also sure that all of those guys are sad that a great civil rights activist is now gone.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I believe in freedom, and I think adult people have a right to pose nude, do adult films, publish adult material, etc., but I don't see why it should be considered an accomplishment or romanticized.&amp;nbsp; It's fodder for fantasies that is produced for money, not some noble pursuit.&amp;nbsp; It is what it is...let's not pretend it's something other than that.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It's great that HH had some sort of participation in the civil rights movement, but I don't think he really did women any favors.&amp;nbsp; And he wasn't Botticelli.&amp;nbsp; He put out a publication full of photos of "ideal" women that men put aside when they were done with it.&amp;nbsp; (You know what I mean.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I think if you can say anything about Hef is that he lived life to enjoy it.&amp;nbsp; I doubt he 'used' people more than many, many people 'used' him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I think if you got involved with Hef, you knew exactly what you were doing.&amp;nbsp; I'm not saying it was moral.&amp;nbsp; But no one was forced into the lifestyle he led.&amp;nbsp; In fact many chased it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
