Playboy August 2000

COVER STORY
Not for love nor money did Rick Rockwell get a glimpse of his bride without her wedding gown. But this month you'll see Runaway Bride Darya Conger minus the silk and the tulle—whether you're a multimillionaire or just an aspiring one. Photographer Stephen Wayda shot the cover. Our Rabbit is a classy guy, but did you know he's Ivy League material?

Seems like everyone either is or knows one. But wait—do you really want to be one? Have you considered taxes? The likelihood of kidnapping, the certainty of asshole friends? We provide perspective. BY JAMIE MALANOWSKI
92 YOU DON'T LOOK A DAY OVER 150. WANT TO SCREW?
Fruit flies can already live the equivalent of 160 human years. Even better, the old duffers do the deed for 20 minutes a go—that's three weeks in human terms. Longevity could be just around the corner. BY KATHLEEN SHARP

Once upon a time, it was all about e. But nothing compares to i. Design elements of Apple's iMac are the new standard for everything from staples to sedans.

Master thief Dortmunder is tagged by an old acquaintance from the pokey. The guy claims he's gone straight—as a painter. His masterpiece is a killer. BY DONALD E. WESTLAKE

INTERVIEW
