I knew that when I made the first response but all these years later I
have never forgotten that cruel cartoon about Betty Ford. I didn't
buy Playboy, it was left open on a table at work, to that page.
However if some people admire men like that, especially if they are a

Meant to read something like the Chinese 'may you live in interesting
times' curse.
