Playboy November 2004 Magazine

COVER STORY
Since Brooke Burke posed in our May 2001 issue—at the height of popularity of TV's Wild On, the show that beamed her from the world's beaches into our hearts—we haven't stopped daydreaming about her charm and beauty. So we sent Senior Contributing Photographer Stephen Wayda to track her down and prove she's still wild. Our Rabbit blushes.

FEATURES
72 BAGHDAD AFTER HOURS
By day in Iraq, soldiers battle insurgents, contractors dodge kidnappers and journalists rush to the sites of car bombs. But after sunset they let loose in an entirely different world. Here's our report on Iraq at night. BY NICOLAS PELHAM
88 DREAM BOATS
We sailed the seas to find the world's finest yachts. Don't want the headache of a $50 million float? No problem—you can lease these luxury cruisers by the week. Here's picturing you and your party posse bobbing in an oceangoing Jacuzzi. BY JASON HARPER
94 HOLY WAR
George W. Bush gave up drinking for Jesus. Fair enough. Other implications of W's faith aren't so innocuous: He blocks federal funding to groups that support abortion, opposes research that could save lives and sees violence in the Levant as part of God's master plan. When will America realize that homegrown religious zealotry is threatening our country? BY ARTHUR SCHLESINGER JR.
112 THE IDENTITY ADDICT
From September 2000 to March 2001, a high school dropout stole the identities of more than 200 people on the Forbes 400 list and pocketed $260 million before a simple mistake landed him in prison. He agreed to sit down with our reporter and reveal a fraud system that he says is simple enough for a 12-year-old to master. All it takes is gloves, a cell phone, the ability to schmooze bank officials and a color printer. BY MARK BOAL
118 20Q JOHN CARMACK
The Doom video game franchise has earned more than $200 million. We sat down with its eccentric creator and talked about his quest to fire into space the first nongovernment-sponsored craft, the best video games ever, his ability to count cards and the secret to working 80 hours a week. BY JASON BUHRMESTER
127 CENTERFOLDS ON SEX: DIVINI RAE
This sexual acrobat treads the fine line between rough and gentle sex.
128 TABOO SEX
The former ballerina is quite a sensation in bed, but not just because of years of pelvic exercises, pirouettes and stretches at the barre. In this erotic essay, she traces her love affair with taking it in through the out door, from her first experience to the transcendent encounters that enabled her to find God. BY TONI BENTLEY

FICTION
84 ST. MARK'S DAY
At Flyworld® bugs fornicate and frolic. But even flies suffer from midlife crises, and the head of one dipterous family doesn't want to join the fun. BY ROD LIDDLE

INTERVIEW
63 OLIVER STONE
The controversial director is the ruler of biopics about such leaders as JFK, Nixon, Castro and, for his new film, Alexander the Great. In a cigar-smoking Playboy Interview, Stone gets out from behind the camera to document his own positions. Learn whether he'll make a movie about Bush, what Platoon would be like if set in Iraq and whether his dad really hired a hooker to devirginize him. BY DAVID SHEFF
