COVER STORY
The holidays are a time for puttin' on the ritz, so this month's cover is decked
out with a painting by artist Robert Hoppe, a legend for his glamorous art-deco
cityscapes. Hoppe's version of the high life, Playboy style, recalls the days
of the Ziegfeld Follies, but his dramatic vision is timeless. If you can't find
the Rabbit right away, we suggest you ask a friend to drive.
