...most significant tattle of the week came, however, straight out of journalism's dirty glass house. In Los Angeles, a parade of witnesses told a state senate investigating committee how Confidential magazine and its competitors (TIME, July 11, 1955) perform the keyhole-peeping routine that makes a heap of money out of homebreaking...

("We could play hide and seek," he slyly suggests, and she replies. "Ah'm not athaletic.") He really gets going in the swing, where the camera closes in on her face while his hands are plainly busy elsewhere ("Oooo," she gasps, "Ah feel so weak"), pushes her toward the brink by the pigpen, and apparently ends up with her in the crib after she coyly suggests that...
