...when appropriate, thoughtful pause. Her bold use of the brass and low strings, for example, gave the orchestral fabric a strikingly firm and secure bottom.

European stringers and photographers are contributing news and nudes from the Continent. As one of two co-editors, Hefner hired Jean-Louis Ginibre, 38, from Lui, France's own answer to Playboy. The other co-editor is Jon Carroll, 28, a long-haired, full-bearded alumnus of Rolling Stone and former editor of the now defunct counterculture magazine Rags.
