TABLE OF CONTENTS

COVER STORY
The idea for this month's cover came from—of all people—author Vladimir Nabokov, who wrote, in a letter to PLAYBOY, "Have you ever noticed how the head and ears of your Rabbit resemble a butterfly in shape?" Included in the letter was the drawing at left. If you haven't guessed by now, you should be aware that Nabokov is an avid lepidopterist (that's a butterfly collector, class).
