I mean, we still have a disconnect because of the attitude that men have about being uncomfortable about being the objects of women’s fantasies and gaze.” That would explain why men would be less likely than women to dream about one day appearing in the pages of Playgirl (and why there aren’t any Boys Gone Wild). But it doesn’t explain why women would be buying the magazine, the rabbit-head merchandise, the shtick. “To say that the gap is closing isn’t to say that the gap has closed,” she replied. “A lot of women read the magazine,” Christie Hefner told me when I went to visit her in Chicago.
“We know they read it because we get letters from them.” And this was proof, she said, that “the post-sexual-revolution, post-women’s-movement generation that is now out there in their late twenties and early thirties has just a more grown-up, comfortable, natural attitude about sex and sexiness that is more in line with where guys (omega) were a couple generations before. The rabbit head symbolises sexy fun, a little bit of rebelliousness, the same way a navel ring does… or low-rider jeans! It’s an obvious ‘I’m taking control of how I look and the statement I’m making’ as opposed to ‘I’m embarrassed about it’ or ‘I’m uncomfortable with it’ A little bit of that in-your-face.. but in a fun way… frisky is a good word.” I asked her why she supposed all these frisky, in-your-face women were buying Playboy instead of, say, Playgirl. Hefner’s daughter Christie is the chairman and CEO of Playboy Enterprises The CFO is a middle-aged mother named Linda Havard.
The Playboy Foundation (which has supported the ERA and abortion rights among other progressive causes) is run by Cleo Wilson, an African-American former civil-rights activist. A woman named Marilyn Grabowski produces more than half the magazine’s photo features. Playboy’s image has everything to do with its pyjama-clad, septuagenarian, babe-magnet founder, Hugh Hefner, and the surreal world of celebrities, multiple “girlfriends” and nonstop bikini parties he’s set up around himself But in actuality, Playboy is a company largely run by women. Because of the feminist movement, women today – on both sides of the Atlantic – obviously have staggeringly different opportunities and expectations than our mothers did: we have attained a degree of hard-won (and still threatened) freedom in our personal lives; we are gradually penetrating the highest levels of the work force; we get to go to college and play sports and run for government office. But to look around, you’d think all any of us want to do is rip off our clothes and shake it It no longer makes sense to just blame men. Mia Leist and plenty of other women are behind the scenes, not just in front of the cameras, making decisions, making money and shouting “We want boobs.” Playboy is a case in point.
These celebrities’ estates are earning millions even after their deaths.

We hope he will win the Champions’ League and we hope he stays.”Like Wenger, Eriksson has been put in a powerful negotiating position with his club. Only if he decides that the time has to come to try international football after 22 years at club level will the FA have any joy.FC Copenhangen’s Roy Hodgson is now believed to be running a distant third — at best — however many interviews he gives stressing his desire to do the job. In the latest, on Radio 5 Live yesterday, he said: “I don’t think it would be as difficult for the FA to persuade me to move as it might be to persuade Arsÿne or Sven Goran.” That much has become obvious.Eriksson’s appointment could be good news for David Platt, who earned the Swede’s respect while playing under him at Sampdoria, and would be high on his list of possible assistants.For the moment, the former England captain’s star seems to have fallen beneath that of Peter Taylor and Steve McClaren, who have been chosen to lead England in Italy on 15 November, and now Curbishley, who will join them.The Charlton manager had to turn down an opportunity earlier in the year to work with the Under-21 side, because his club wanted him to concentrate on establishing them in the Premiership, which he has begun to do to good effect.There is no chance, however, that he will be working with the former Charlton midfielder Lee Bowyer in Italy next month. The FA is understood to be adamant that Bowyer and his Leeds team-mate, Jonathan Woodgate, will not be selected for England while they are waiting to appear in court early next year on charges of affray and grievous bodily harm, which they both deny..
Lazio’s Swedish coach Sven Goran Eriksson has agreed to manage England, according to reports in Italy. Lazio’s Swedish coach Sven Goran Eriksson has agreed to manage England, according to reports in Italy.
The ANSA news agency claims Eriksson has already signed a contract with the Football Association to take over on July 1, 2001.It said Italian champions Lazio agreed that Eriksson could leave at the end of the current season, and that he had signed a contract with the English FA that would last for “several years”.ANSA quoted Eriksson as declining to comment on its report. “I’m not talking to the media,” he said.Kevin Keegan resigned as England coach after a 1-0 defeat by Germany in a World Cup qualifier earlier this month.Leicester City manager Peter Taylor and Manchester United’s number two Steve McLaren are in temporary charge for England’s friendly against Italy on November 15.. Consider whether any candidate would fulfil the criteria of England coach: sustained success, international experience, capability of handling outside pressures, ability to focus solely on the job, tactical astuteness, long-term commitment, ability to communicate and integrity. Consider whether any candidate would fulfil the criteria of England coach: sustained success, international experience, capability of handling outside pressures, ability to focus solely on the job, tactical astuteness, long-term commitment, ability to communicate and integrity.
The Football Association keeps saying nobody has been ruled out by the adoption of the criteria, though, when the list was first published, a queue of commentators formed behind me in suggesting it was as if the requirements such as integrity, sustained success and ability to withstand outside pressures had been included so as to give them an easy get-out for passing over Terry Venables.One could quite easily construct an argument in favour of Venables, given the way he shrugged off all the writs and accusations thrown at him last time he was appointed. He demonstrated singular ability to focus on the job in hand.It is a moot point whether even the most successful England manager in history would have satisfied the FA’s stringent criteria.
If Sir Alf Ramsey had the ability to communicate, he certainly did not employ it in his dealings with the press, whom he collectively regarded as a bunch of dolts and ne’er-do-wells, treating them in equal measure with clipped brusqueness and lofty condescension.When England started dropping World Cup points in 1973, his poor PR meant he hadn’t a leg to stand on and Don Revie, with an unrivalled club record, was soon given the job, to the incredulity of one senior football administrator who told the FA: “You must be off your heads”. He evidently didn’t think Revie would be capable of withstanding the greater pressures of international football and he was eventually proved right when Revie decamped to the desert.Glenn Hoddle left the job because it was felt in some quarters he took communication too far: with the “other side”.Given the current preoccupation of the FA with image, it is surprising it did not include discipline in the list of criteria. This might have been a stick Venables could have been beaten with, for, despite the dignified manner of his England team’s departure from Euro 96, he was unable to identify the culprit among the players who trashed the Cathay Pacific plane on the return from Hong Kong just before the tournament.Maybe it is time to take a completely different tack, for the criteria make no mention of sex, or rather gender. Perhaps a woman would more readily meet the requirements.I couldn’t see Ann Widdecombe standing for any high jinks on a plane. Anne Robinson, a graduate of the Alf Ramsey school of public relations, would fall at the first hurdle, as would Anthea Turner, from an entirely different PR school.Carol Vorderman could probably do the job, as she manages just about everything else.

Eat your heart out, Pickering.l The capture of a record-breaking 53lb 15oz carp sent angling publications into a frenzy, and one paid a rumoured pounds 1,000 for the captor’s story – probably the first example of chequebook journalism in angling. But just to show that God goes fishing, last week the same fish was caught again, weighing 55lb 6oz. The latest captor, Alex White, is said to be miffed that his new record attracted only a pounds 250 bid. A couple of years ago, I fished in Maine with the owner of a huge outdoor complex and his bass partner, who mended trucks Addicts? I’ll say. This $5 tome contains nearly 500 pages, and Bass Pro shops are huge.
Their Missouri branch has a 150,000 sq ft showroom, while the Atlanta store includes a 40ft aquarium so anglers can observe bass feeding habits. Bass are amusing enough, but like triple X-rated movies and cheap wine, they are not something a gentleman spends a lot of time and money on.”I, however, consider largemouths right up there with trout on the scale of respectability and have even been known to quote Russell Chatham [don't ask me] to the effect that, if a bass and trout of equal size were tied tail to tail, the bass would tow that trout clear up to Healdsburg.” This is an American way of saying that bass are stronger.There are six species, but basically anglers are after smallmouth and largemouth bass (somewhat misnamed because even a 3lb smallmouth could engulf your fist without scraping the skin).The bass fan club can best be gauged from an annual catalogue issued by Bass Pro Shops. A fish every 100 seconds might seem a great many to catch in five hours, but Pickering is perhaps the most adept angler in Britain at catching large numbers quickly He once caught 14 fish, admittedly tiny ones, in a minute. In the US, however, top-line fishers would have greeted such arm-aching exertions with amusement. After all, they compete for purses of $50,000 or more and can win with just one fish, as long as it’s the biggest.
Such rewards have generated a professional circuit and each year, one event offers a staggering $1m top prize.You might suppose that salmon or perhaps trout would be their quarry But no. More than half of America’s 56m fishers put freshwater or black bass at the top of the pile. So what’s the appeal? Even ardent trouters admit that bass are something special. Acclaimed author and trout addict John Gierach, in his latest book, Sex, Death and Fly-Fishing, writes: “Given the choice, the fly-fisher with any breeding whatsoever always chooses the spotted, streamlined fish. And as for the cricket …Elsewhere, it is a different story.
The Tour de France manages to be both a national festival and ruthlessly competitive event, while the Melbourne Cup horse race in Australia, or the baseball World Series in America remain uncompromised by worries about social or sartorial codes and are much more enjoyable as sporting fixtures for that reason.The summer season of English sport, however, remains dogged by imperial nostalgia, snobbery, frantic role-playing, posturing and, yes, persistent failure. It seemed entirely apt, then, that while our rugby players were capitulating to France and our cricketers were crumbling to the West Indies, John “warm beer” Major was running the white underpants of surrender up the mast.Another vein of nostalgia was opened up this week when Havant District Council announced that it was considering a ban on “street football” in order to prevent general rowdiness and damage to gardens. The notion was soon put around that such a ban, if applied nationwide, would seal off the well-spring of our youthful footballing talent.Such traditionalists as Tommy Docherty and Bob Wilson were encouraged to reminisce at how their own skills were honed on bomb-sites and street corners, dodging Hovis delivery bikes and whippets, and kicking the withered shell of a tennis ball against a garage door. After the Denmark event, a spokesman for Imperial Tobacco said, with gritted teeth: “Embassy is thrilled to pay out the biggest prize in angling.” Undoubtedly it took the precaution of insuring against the unlikely event of anyone breaking the record.
Pickering’s haul comprised 170 bream, four roach and four perch. Earlier this year, it forked out pounds 147,000 for Stephen Hendry’s maximum 147 televised break at the world snooker championship.

CHICAGO (Reuters) – Plunging stock prices may make companies look like relative bargains, but for right now manufacturing companies see more risks than rewards in corporate deal-making.Executives at the Reuters Manufacturing Summit in Chicago this week stressed that the economic uncertainty and lack of access to capital that have defined the recent downturn make acquisitions difficult to complete and even harder to sell to shareholders.Manufacturing deals ground nearly to a halt after the credit markets froze up — deal volume in the sector fell 85 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers.

For all their undeniable entertainingness, I find myself devouring the works of Anne Tyler, Jane Smiley, Carol Shields and others at a suspiciously frictionless lick. Margaret Forster has a kind of pinched grittiness that is congenial to the overcomplicated reader and seems sensible – I hazard – to the better adjusted.Her new book, then, is about biscuits. The Carr family of Carlisle, where Margaret Forster was born and initially educated, were Quakers who rode the new communications of the 19th century and filled the Empire with their selection of detectable and easily preserved biscuits, in the blue and white tins that are still be to be found in the corners of grandparental larders, displaying the many medals won in the field of nourishment (and in war).The Carrs were ethical employers (Quakers having an obligation to make money but not to work for undue profit). The account given here of the conditions of work at the factory built by J D Carr, the first Carr to forsake bread- baking for biscuits, is fascinating. His commitment to relieving the cramped and filthy lives of the poor induced him to build a great new factory, to install a swimming pool, to make sure of a cleanly uniform and a healthy diet, and, in all this, to provide an example himself. He was strictly temperent, and no one who worked for him was permitted to drink.Carr’s is now owned by McVitie’s, owned by United Biscuits. The story of a business carefully built up, flourishing to the point where it is part of a nation’s pride, and then subverted by family schism and fate and lost to outside forces can never be uninteresting.
In the intimate, local yet intelligently interpretative grasp of Margaret Forster, the account becomes gripping. The book contains anecdotes and vignettes of family life in a high-minded and prosperous family that are as touching as the photographs of great broods of children, half of them soon to be dead of infant sicknesses – and that in a home disinfected by money. Throughout one receives a sense of altriusm, from the Carrs and from the author.Here is a modern Carr on the ethos of his family firm: “I do not care a fig for Unilevers .. or for the way they behave We are unique We are out of the ordinary We do not copy anyone else, least of all the big companies. It is for you to cherish and safeguard our reputation for uniqueness, not to throw it away and turn us into a company just the same as thousands of others, each with its dreary, commonplace parrot cry: ‘We are in business to make profit’.”Margaret Forster slips a little of herself into the story. At the beginning, she recalls the allure the biscuit factory exerted over her childhood, and then its strange off-puttingness when she was taken around it as a schoolgirl.
In her Acknowledgements she thanks “the late Athol MacGregor. He was in the next room to my father in a Carlisle nursing home. His memory, at the age of 94, was formidably sharp…”Perhaps we may hope for a history of New Lanark or of Port Sunlight, or a novel set somewhere like them, from this reliable author? While her style can – but it’s rare – falter into cliche or worthy school essay, her moral poise is distinctive and compelling.. Andrew Carnegie is probably the most interesting of the quartet of “robber baron” tycoon-colossuses who bestrode the United States in the late 19th century. Unlike Henry Ford, J D Rockefeller and J P Morgan he had interests beyond making money, even though some of the later fads, such as the campaign for world peace, hardly enhanced his reputation. His risible belief that the Kaiser was a kind of proto-Gandhi reminds one of Bertrand Russell’s remark that there are some ideas so absurd that only very intelligent people could possibly believe in them.
The move follows a similar partnership between Nabisco, Danone and a team of financial backers, which recently teamed up in a £1.26bn deal to swallow United Biscuits. Cadbury Schweppes, the 7-Up to Creme Egg group, is thought to be close to launching a joint £10bn bid for Nabisco, the US Ritz crackers and Oreo biscuits maker, in conjunction with the French group Danone. The move follows a similar partnership between Nabisco, Danone and a team of financial backers, which recently teamed up in a £1.26bn deal to swallow United Biscuits.
Spokesmen for both Cadbury Schweppes and Danone declined to comment on the rumours yesterday. But both companies had earlier admitted their interest in buying all or part of the US group.David Kappler, Cadbury’s finance director, said recently that the group had a £5bn war chest for acquisitions, which could be funded by both cash and debt.It is understood that the terms of the bid would see Cadbury Schweppes providing about £4bn of the total cost, with Danone funding the remaining 60 per cent.If successful, Nabisco’s assets would be divided up between the two bidders with Cadbury gobbling up Nabisco’s sweets operations and Danone laying claim to the biscuits and snacks interests, together with the global top-spot in the biscuits market.Cadbury is widely seen as needing a deal to boost its confectionery operations, which have consistently underperformed the group’s faster-growing soft drinks division.The group recently said that it was in advanced talks to acquire the French chewing gum and candy businesses of Kraft Foods, a division of the consumer goods giant and Marlboro cigarettes maker Philip Morris.If the Anglo-French consortium does make a formal approach to buy the Nabisco assets, it could face stiff competition from Philip Morris, which is still seen by many as the frontrunner to snap up either the food company or its parent company, Nabisco Group Holdings, which holds a 90 per cent stake in the business.Carl Icahan, the corporate raider who owns 9.7 per cent of the holding company, is also in the running to buy the group as is RJ Reynolds, the tobacco company, which was demerged from Nabisco just last year.Nabisco and Danone teamed up to buy United Biscuits, the Jaffa Cakes to Mini Cheddars maker, in February this year after the two former rival bidders agreed to split the United Biscuits assets between them..

The group, which has poached five of NatWest’s seven-member leverage finance team, will be led by Graham Randell who has become senior managing director.Commenting on the expansion, Mr Randell said: “Now that we have a team with proven delivery expertise and strong market reputations, our intention is to grow a stable, successful European leverage business to complement our thriving US operation.”Also joining from NatWest is John Foy who becomes managing director.Although leverage finance makes up nearly one-third of Heller’s US operations, in Europe the company has concentrated on other areas, including a factoring and receivable financing joint venture with ING Baring.Heller, whose headquarters are in Chicago, has over $19bn in total assets.
The London-based expansion will provide senior secured loans with underwriting commitments of between £10m and £200m. It will also underwrite subordinated debt with a maximum retention of up to £10m, equity co-investments up to £7m and select investments in private equity funds.”We are unique in that we offer a broad package of financing facilities and transaction support through all stages of corporate growth and development,” said Mr Randell.The £40bn European private equity market is split 50:50 between the UK and the Continent..

British Land, headed by property tycoon John Ritblat, will purchase more than 93 million shares in Liberty from South African investors.Combined with British Land’s existing small stake in Liberty, the deal will give it a 29.9% holding in the company.The stake is being bought at 550p a share, markedly higher than the 467.5p price of Liberty Group’s shares at the close of trading on Friday.The deal will boost British Land’s investment in the shopping centre business.Liberty controls Capital Shopping Centres, whose properties includes the MetroCentre in Gateshead and Lakeside in Essex.British Land’s interests include the Meadowhall shopping centre near Sheffield.Liberty is headed by chairman Donald Gordon, the South African entrepreneur who founded financial services giant Liberty Life in his home country in 1957. He sold his stake in the business early last year.The move comes amid a shake-up in the UK property sector, which many market watchers believe is severely undervalued by the stock market.Last week Britain’s fourth largest property group, MEPC, agreed to be taken over by Leconport Estates in a £3.49 billion deal.The much smaller Prestbury property business also announced last week that it planned to sell off its property assets and return the cash to shareholders, arguing it could raise more cash by breaking up its business than from the current value of its shares..

In seven wins, he completed 65.5 percent for 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions, while being sacked just six times.??Michigan has one of the best defensive ends in the Big Ten, in senior Brandon Graham. The styles of these two are so similar that the only real deciding factor to the outcome would be who has more experience. I would like to thank everyone who read this article for taking trhe time out to read my article.
