And the publisher, known for such upscale glossies as Vogue, GQ and Gourmet, was inflamed by Maxim's voluptuous numbers but too squeamish--and fearful of losing high-end advertisers--to bare all. "We learned that we are an upmarket publisher," says Truman. Or, as a former editor puts it, "they couldn't fully embrace the gutter."

Sometimes his pictures include unnerving bits of modern flotsam. In a Rwandan refugee camp in Zaire a young man lies dead in a heap of used plastic intravenous bags. Elsewhere in the camp the corpses are pushed...
