	Hugh Hefner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Hefner claims to have hatched the idea for Playboy while he was in college, and that the name for the magazine came from his decision that his "baby" should have the name he "knew he was himself".
		Hefner saw his first brush with the law come in 1958 when he, a teenager named Elizabeth Ann Roberts, and her mother were arrested in Chicago after photos of Roberts appeared in Playboy.
		His daughter Christie Hefner, born in 1952, is from his marriage to Millie, whom he married in 1949 and divorced in 1959.

	The Cable Center
		HEFNER: Well, we were very fortunate because one particular cable mogul was really convinced that there was room for a quality adult channel, and in fact had launched a channel called Escapade, and that person was Chuck Dolan.
		HEFNER: Honestly, I think the big challenge that we had in the early days wasnât the lack of support from the operators as much as it was that the analog cable systems only had 35-40 channels and it was already clear that there were going to be more good ideas than that.
		HEFNER: Pay-per-view actually has worked very well for us and I think one of the things that Playboy offers the cable industry thatâs different from the big fight or the Hollywood movie is a consistency of buy because it isnât a question of which movie this month or is there a top fighter this month.
