About this issue

Hi-Life, Vol. 1, No. 5 (May 1959), is a men's magazine featuring fiction, articles, and photographs. The lead story, "Zone of Combat" by William Sambrot, follows Smitty, a combat medic stationed in post-D-Day Cherbourg, whose unit remains in reserve due to their colonel's alcoholism—an incident involving cows near the English village of Burley has marked them as troublemakers in the eyes of SHAEF command. The colonel, Andrew Jellicoe, a habitual Whitehorse drinker, reportedly filed a report that damaged the outfit's reputation. Other content includes "La Parisienne Dame-Nee," Louis-Charles Royer's anatomical and behavioral essay on Parisian women, describing their physical characteristics, temperament, fashion sense, and romantic nature; "Matinee" by Robert Walter; Western fiction by Harry Schreiner; humor by James Trammell Cox and columnist Jimmy Cannon; and articles on robotics, celebrity features, and adventure pieces, interspersed with glamor photography throughout.
