Magazine

A model dressed as a Playboy bunny poses with the first Hebrew language edition of the popular men's magazine in Tel Aviv, Israel, Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Israelis can now read Playboy "for the articles." A U.S. emigre, Daniel Pomerantz, on Tuesday launched the first Hebrew language edition of the popular men's magazine. Playboy has been widely available in Israel for years, but this marks the first local edition of the magazine. It features Israeli models and articles by Israeli writers. It's not clear how well the magazine will be received in the Holy Land, where religious sensitivities simmer under the surface and observant Jews and Muslims live by strict modesty rules. Adult magazines and videos are freely available, but not with local models and not in Hebrew. Playboy was launched in 1953 with the iconic Marilyn Monroe centerfold. It peaked in popularity in the 1970's. Circulation has declined since the rise of adult Internet sites. (AP Photo/Ariel Schalit)

Ask Babe: Hunting Sports Illustrated early issues

Dear Babe: You have written about the first and second issues of Sports Illustrated. Do you happen to know the print run of these two magazines? -- Roland Garn, Windsor, Ontario, Canada

Dear Roland: It's nice to get a change of pace about the first issues of Sports Illustrated, dated Aug. 16 and 23, 1954.

As far as Da Babe can tell, no one has really tried to figure out approximately how many issues are out there. I was told that the first two magazines went to subscribers of Time and Life, which would mean millions of copies went out.
