...since John Maynard Keynes, Dean Acheson, Henry Morgenthau and politico-economic experts from 45 other countries huddled in the little New Hampshire resort town of Bretton Woods in 1944 has there been a monetary meeting like the one convening in Washington this week. John Connally, the tough but still charming Texan, will be there as the chief attraction, if one can put it that way. So will assorted treasury chiefs, finance ministers and central bankers-France's Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, Germany's Karl Schiller, Italy's Guido Carli. Like their predecessors at Bretton...

...high costs of the New Jersey resort have not slowed Hefner down. His company started a music-publishing and phonograph-record division last month. Hefner has also plowed more than $3,000,000 into financing Director Roman Polanski's film version of Macbeth, and is looking for other movies to bankroll. Next year Playboy will go international, starting European editions in French, Italian and German under the guidance of Playboy executive and long-TIME Staffer Michael Demarest.
