EDITORIAL NOTE
Our Knave ladies might not have bits of holly sticking in them or be wearing hired
Santa Claus outfits, but you have to admit that some of our articles this month
are nothing if not seasonal—what with Knave's candid look at parties (and
because we're Knavish, it has to be sex parties!), with our expose of rigged racing
and with our look ahead to 1976 in famous, some might say infamous, Sex Doctor
Martin Cole's exclusive revelations of his provocative plans for the New Year.
We hope you don't mind us not worrying too much about our nude beauties not being
covered in snow and so on—Mandy Moore is a prize example as she takes us
back to Summer with her poolside delights. But everybody we spoke to said they
couldn't care tuppence about whether it's summery or wintery in the background,
as long as the pictures of the ladies are hot stuff! Equally, it might be chilly
in Britain but lots of our readers overseas sweat out this month ... and we ignore
our Knave friends abroad at our peril nowadays. They have done more than their
bit in making Knave, and its companion magazine Fiesta, without question Britain's
fastest-growing magazines for men. Moreover, these sales overseas mean a lot to
us, as we are very much patriots—although some of our bigoted fellow-countrymen
(and the occasional countrywoman) obviously don't realise it, as they pursue their
eccentric campaigns to "clean up" a fast growing and valuable export!
Let's face it, if we carry on doing so well and so many other busInesses carry
on doing so badly, the day might not be so far off when what you are now reading
is keeping Britannia afloat ...
