***  I don't know about getting him to publish some of the stereo slides but
it's a great idea. I didn't see the show everyone is talking about, but last
night there was an interview on TV with the CEO of Playboy, Hugh's daughter.
She seemed to be a very talented and interesting person. Of note is the fact
that she is right now heading in two particular directions with the company.
More electronic, and more international. They have a web presence and intend
to make further use of that fact. Not just republishing the magazine to the
web, but developing entertainment for adults specifically for the new
medium. That seems to indicate that they might be able to show the stereo
slides from their own early history easier than they could publish them to
paper, by using JPS format images. I would guess there are opportunities
with stereo and Playboy that haven't existed before now. It might be worth
the effort of approaching them with the idea.
