  • Trivia
    As editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan from 1965-1996, Brown published readers' confessions on the most unusual places they were intimate, an article entitled "How I'd steal the president (Richard Nixon) away from Pat," and the Burt Reynolds centerfold. Betty Friedan called Cosmopolitan under Brown's sex-drenched stewardship "quite obscene and quite horrible."
