Playboy Magazine's March 1979 issue provides an eclectic mix of interviews, surveys, fiction, and features.
This issue highlights a candid conversation with Ted Patrick, known as a one-man blitzkrieg against religious cults.

The Playboy report presents a comprehensive survey revealing the motivations, thoughts, and aspirations of the American male in his prime years.
From the world of fiction, Joseph Heller, the author of "Catch-22", presents an excerpt from his new novel "Good as Gold", where the protagonist discovers that anybody can be influential in Washington, as long as he has a tall wife.
A pictorial feature presents Denise Crosby in a new light, demonstrating her innate ability to entertain without the need for song, unlike her grandfather.
Former Senator James Abourezk gives an insider's look into the lobbying, cajoling, arm-twisting, and dishonesty that he found unbearable in American politics.
Craig Vetter recounts his terrifying experience performing at a comedy club, sharing his comedy routine script and an interview with comedy-club graduate Robin Williams.
Finally, a guide on selecting the perfect pair of shoes from David Platt concludes the issue, asserting that sometimes the right pair of shoes can do more for a man than any other piece of apparel.
This vintage issue is a valuable addition to any Playboy collection and can be found in vintage magazine stores or on online platforms that specialize in old and collector's magazines.
