Reynolds and 17 others to join him in buying the magazine from John Clarke Kennedy (Forhan's Toothpaste), who ran it as a hobby. The present owners, said Stone, merely want...
This was no surprise to U.S. psychiatrists (TIME, Dec. 15), or to careful readers of Jorgensen's own story in the Hearst newspapers. Jorgensen, a onetime G.I. named George, told how he "was in ... affections more like a woman than a man"; how two years ago, at 24, he had heard of a doctor in Denmark who might help him live like the woman he wanted to be; how the Danish doctors had diagnosed him as a transvestite,* treated him for a year with female hormones, then operated on him to remove "the evidences of masculinity...
