es Castlégar News September 28, 1988 Scandalized women CHICAGO (AP) — Fawn Hall and Donna Rice didn't, Paula Parkinson, Jessica Hahn, Rita Jenrette and Debra Murphree did. Getting scandal-entangled women to bare all is a major coup for men’s magazines, which pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to titillate. Besides dangling six-figure fees, such magazines as Playboy and Penthouse wine, and dine these formerly obscure women and offer the promise of nationwide publicity. The reason is simple: scandal sells. When Indiana Senator Dan Quayle was chosen Republican vice presidential candidate, Penthouse and Playboy rushed to resurrect features on Paula Parkinson, the comely blond lobbyist who-accompanied Quayle and two other politicians on a golf outing eight years ago. Playboy's November issue includes new comments it's hard from Parkinson, jiming Quayle propositioned her on the Florliiweekend, and a nude photograph of Parkinson taken in 1980. Penthouse's story, also for November, includes fresh remarks from a 1981 interview about an alleged dalliance with Representative Jack Kemp, R-N.Y., as well as statements about Quayle. Jessica Hahn, the former church secretary whose sexual encounter with Jim Bakker led to the PTL evangelist's downfall last year, got her second Playboy feature in the September issue. SOLD MILLIONS Her first spread appeared in Playboy's November 1987 issue, featuring several nude photographs and Hahn's version of what happened with Bakker. The issue sold more than five million copies at newsstands, about 1.5 million more than. usual. help sell magazines Penthouse struck it right with its July issue, featuring the woman at the centre of the scandal involving televangelist Jimmy Swaggart. The magazine includes explicit photos of Debra Murphree showing the - things she contends Swaggart asked her to do in a motel room, The Murphree issue sold out in five days, selling more than four million copies, double the normal newsstand sales, according to Penthouse officials. Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione and an attorney for Murphree declined to reveal how much she was paid, but it was rumored to be $75,000 to $100,000 US. Murphree, jailed in Louisiana on an unrelated prostitution charge, wasn't available for comment but her attorney, Tom Weymann, said she agreed to be in the magazine because “she was trying to get out of the life that she had found herself Why would someone like Rita Jenrette, ex-wife of former South Carolina Congressman John Jenrette, want to bare her body to millions? “I thought it would be a hoot, a funny thing to do, said Jenrette, 38, who appeared in Playboy in April 1981 after her husband's bribery and conspiracy conviction in the FBI Abscam investigation, Jenrette says she doesn’t think Playboy exploited her troubles to make a buck. SCANDAL SELLS As far as men's magazines making money off the scandal, she said: “What else is there? It self. The senational grabs people.” That's why Playboy and Penthouse, offering six-figure payoffs, hotly pursued Donna Rice, whose relationship with former Colorado Senator Gary Hart doomed his presidential hopes, ‘ BUSINESS DIRECTORY being the shortest NEW DELHI (AP) At 32, Gul Mohammad, the world’s shortest a has to pay teenagers to piggy. back him around the city It is a hard life to be a dwarf, and the world's shortest living matured man is even harder,” said Mohammad, sitting at his candy in the narrow and crowded the Indian capital's old to be lanes of bazaar.
