NP but RIP Hugh Hefner --since no one else here might.

[Mark Kohut]

I reveal myself surely unflatteringly and surely politically incorrectly
these days
when I say the 'working title' of GR, before I was enlightened by all of
the
Orientalists, *Mindless Pleasures* usually made me think of Playboy
Magazine.
Even the stories and articles.

I  won't quote John Updike's wonderful insight into most inartistic young
men and beauty here
for fear of everyone, but think of nudes in art history and imagine what he
said.

Thank you for everything Hugh, including paying Dick Gregory to find the
bodies of
the murdered civil rights workers in the 60's.
