COVER STORY: Why is Rockville Centre, NewYork, going wild? Because native daughter KAREN VELEZ is our 1985 Playmate of the Year. Our cover, shot by Contributing Pho- tographer Richard Fegley and produced by West Coast Photo Editor Marilyn Grabowski, features Karen in a pose that’s suitably suggestive of Venus.
