Ivy League bunnies: when Playboy came to town

Description

Abstract:
In 1979, a campus controversy erupted over Playboy magazine's Girls of the Ivy League issue--feminist groups were outraged while others countered that the opposition was infringing on a woman's right to choose. This story revisits the controversy and speculates as to what the campus reaction would be if Playboy visited Brown today.
