Hugh Hefner 1926-2017

I remember a couple of stashes that were mostly Penthouse, but also an issue of Genesis. There were also a couple of digest-sized magazines that I guess were swingers’ magazines – like the personal ads, but with photos. One stash was at the edge of some woods while the other was semi-protected in a burned-out farmhouse.

If it weren’t for Penthouse I wouldn’t know (at least, not until much later) about Arthur Blythe or William O. Douglas – the latter article was written by Nat Hentoff, who previously I only knew as the author of 1 or 2 teen novels I had read.
