The Jan\u00adu\u00adary, 1960 (Vol\u00adume 5, Num\u00adber 4) issue of The Low\u00addown mag\u00ada\u00adzine includes a three-page (just under one page of text and backed by a lurid dou\u00adble-page spread image of star\u00ading eyes) relat\u00ading the \u201cper\u00adson\u00adal\u201d expe\u00adri\u00adence of \u201ca young and pret\u00adty for\u00admer pros\u00adti\u00adtute who was hired by THE LOWDOWN to track rumors that doc\u00adtors were hyp\u00adno\u00adtiz\u00ading house\u00adwives and seduc\u00ading them.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The text does not offer any proof that there were even such rumors, only men\u00adtion\u00ading a doc\u00adtor in New Mex\u00adi\u00adco who alleged\u00adly hyp\u00adno\u00adtized sev\u00ader\u00adal women, includ\u00ading get\u00adting one of them preg\u00adnant: no oth\u00ader details were includ\u00aded. Instead the sto\u00adry reads like a \u201ctrue con\u00adfes\u00adsions\u201d per\u00adson\u00adal sto\u00adry about two dif\u00adfer\u00adent encoun\u00adters that are light on speci\u00adfici\u00adties that could have been pieced togeth\u00ader from any num\u00adber of peri\u00adod resources about hypnosis.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The pho\u00adto\u00adgraph on the first page is not ref\u00ader\u00adenced in the article.<\/p>\n

Pret\u00adty 19-year-old Patri\u00adcia Mor\u00adris sub\u00admit\u00adted to a hyp\u00adno\u00adtist will\u00ading\u00adly as a stunt. How\u00adev\u00ader, many oth\u00ader women have been hyp\u00adno\u00adtized against their wills.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The rest of the arti\u00adcle is lit\u00adtered with gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adi\u00adties and sup\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtions which make it easy to accept but hard to believe or confirm.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The whole arti\u00adcle is sug\u00adges\u00adtive, lurid and titi\u00adlat\u00ading with\u00adout being explic\u00adit. That seems to be the case with every\u00adthing else being pub\u00adlished. \u201cThe Low\u00addown\u201d reads like the ille\u00adgit\u00adi\u00admate child of a cheap tabloid news\u00adpa\u00adper and a scur\u00adrilous men\u2019s mag\u00ada\u00adzine, with all the sex, hype and tabloid sen\u00adsa\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adism of the par\u00adents, crossed with the truthi\u00adness of a true con\u00adfes\u00adsions mag\u00ada\u00adzine and served with a dol\u00adlop of racism on top. The lat\u00adter is espe\u00adcial\u00adly obvi\u00adous, with the arti\u00adcles \u201cWhy White Women Love Paul Robe\u00adson\u201d and \u201cSam\u00admy Davis: Big Shot?\u201d (part of the \u201cA Nation\u00adal Dis\u00adgrace: How Big-Shots Beat the Law\u201d).<\/p>\n
