Dan, could you give some details here?  I am unaware of the history of
the New Yorker.  It sounds like you consider their story a success.
What details make it a success to you, and could you also say how you
see this applying to PLAYBOY's case?  Are there any other magazines
that might have a similarly interesting history in this regard?
