...Killing of Sister George features the face of a woman into whose leonine hairdo is woven a nude female figure. Some papers ran the ad intact; some performed surgery on the figure's silhouetted breast. In Chicago, the Tribune, Daily News and Sun-Times all added lines of camouflage to comb out the hanger...
...Francisco Examiner says he has turned away "tens of thousands of dollars" in advertising that he found overly offensive. Still, the Examiner went ahead and ran the Sister George ad unretouched.

You could overflow like warm Camembert cheese." There are the oglers, against whom Mrs. Scull protects herself by taking off her glasses: "That way, being nearsighted, I can't see people's reactions." And there are those for whom ogling is not enough.
