COVER STORY
This month's cover, featuring 1974 Playmate of the Year Cyndi Wood, is an update of those turn-of-the-century Fourth of July postcards, tobacco cards and posters showing Lady Liberty swathed in the Stars and Stripes and clad in the classic
Greek chiton of the Statue of Liberty. As you can see, our ubiquitous, if sometimes obscure, Rabbit is formed by Cyndi's hair covering part of a star.
