Friday marks the final issue of Playboy containing images of naked women.
The magazine chose Pamela Anderson to be the last naked cover model, announcing on its website in early December: “To close out this era in the magazine’s history, it only made sense to put the most famous Playmate in Playboy history on the cover: Pamela Anderson.”
In October, the magazine announced that, after 62 years, it would stop publishing nude photos.

To the uninitiated, psilocybin—the substance that gives ‘magic mushrooms’ their psychedelic qualities—could be dismissed as a recreational drug. Like many other psychedelics, it is banned by the U.S. government as a Schedule 1 substance, meaning it supposedly has high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use in treatment. However, to many medical science researchers, psilocybin is much more: a promising treatment for a range of health issues. In particular, experts increasingly see the chemical as a potentially effective, low-risk tool to help patients break their dependencies on other substances.

How do you do that?
I’m pretty comfortable with radical contradictions. I can love really flawed people. But I couldn’t tell a kid how to do it and I know how hard it is.
Reading the book, I was also astonished by your reluctance to tell people that you had prosopagnosia. I kept thinking that it could have made your life so much easier.
My therapist kept telling me that.

Every used car buyer’s worst nightmare is forking over a substantial amount of money only to find that they’ve driven home a set of wheels with hidden damage. One of the best ways to avoid that situation is to check the car’s title before agreeing to the purchase. Most vehicles available for sale have a clean title, which is a good sign.

Yellow lights glowed from all four floors of an abandoned cigar factory in Newark, N. J. one night last week. A sickle moon hung in the sky. From the upper windows came susurrous sounds, growing louder and louder, a whisper repeated a hundredfold, until finally the whole neighborhood rang and rang with the cries: “Isn’t it wonderful! Peace! Peace! Peace! Ain’t it wonderful! OOooh! Peace! Peace!” The Fourth Precinct desk sergeant’s telephone tinkled.

“Why is it that we have such a need for murder mystery,” asks Susan Ryeland, the narrator of British author Anthony Horowitz’s new novel, Magpie Murders, “and what is it that attracts us — the crime or the solution? Do we have some primal need of bloodshed because our own lives are so safe, so comfortable?”
If anyone should be able to answer these questions, it’s Susan. As an editor at a publishing house, she works with the massively successful Alan Conway, a writer of Agatha Christie-style whodunits.

For two decades, the U.S. Air Force kept tab on unidentified flying objects in a project called Blue Book. Then, in 1969, the number of UFOs reported in U.S. skies sharply dwindled, and the Blue Book was closed. Why did the UFOs suddenly become scarce?
Saucer skeptics have a number of theories. For one thing, an intensive Air Force-sponsored study of UFO “sightings,” conducted under the supervision of University of Colorado Physicist Edward U.

The United States is about to learn the hard way what happens when an entire generation of nurses retires without enough new clinicians to fill their shoes at the bedside.
As a result, hospitals in the same country that performed the first successful kidney transplant and pioneered anesthesia and heart rhythm restoration will have no choice but to ration care.
That’s the only way to describe what happened to an Alabama man who was turned away from 43 different hospitals across three different states before ultimately dying of a cardiac emergency 200 miles from home because no nearby system had an available intensive care bed it could staff.

Without a professor since Casey Stengel, baseball last week persuaded the president of Yale University, A. Bartlett (“Hit them where they aren’t”) Giamatti, to jump to the National League. As the commissioner of baseball is a reformed travel agent, and the president of the American League is a retired cardiologist, the choice of an English teacher to replace Chub Feeney made a surprising kind of sense, though Chub has never hurried away from a press conference to deliver a lecture on Machiavelli.
