Playboy was always 80% a lifestyle magazine with naked ladies at back.

Readers of the braille edition, as the old joke goes, really did read Playboy just for the articles. Now, we look at how we could be more accessible.

I'm team articles. Your morgue had some fascinating stuff about the conundrum jazz artists had back in the day: they could accept free help in kicking heroin, but they'd be immediately denied their cabaret card and arrested. So though help was available, they wouldn't take it. Fascinating reporting.
