In the 1950s when I was a student at the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology, I met and became close friends with Erich Sokol, a graphics design student from Vienna, who was hired by Hugh Hefner to do cartoons for Playboy Magazine.

Erich once told me that when he attended one of Heffner's notorious pool parties, he saw him surrounded by a few shady-looking individuals -- obviously Mafia guys. Later, when Erich asked Heffner who they were, he replied, "Just some friends".
