"I thought we could generate a million dollars for the company and reach a
million people with the extraordinary story of Playboy and its impact on the
world of literature, design, ideas and art," says Christie Hefner, chairman
and CEO of Playboy Enterprises, the founder's daughter. "We know we have
collectors, so we thought that instead of engaging in private negotiations
to sell part of the collection, we would have a public auction, where anyone
anywhere can own a piece of Playboy."

During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes
constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage
malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies
and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into
harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a
certain extent for the "consolation" of the oppressed classes and with the
object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the
revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and
vulgarizing it.
