Yeah, an American journalist commented that he'd like to read Hefner's whole story as it was likely to be complicated and he was immediately challenged by a rabid feminist.
Hefner was far from snowy white but he did good work for civil rights. It was he who put up the reward money for information as the the location of the bodies of the three missing civil rights workers murdered in Mississippi in the 1960s. But for that it is unlikely the bodies would have been found. The film "Mississippi Burning" covers the incident but makes the FBI out to be heroes. The FBI were far from that, and the local sheriff and his staff were actually complicit in the murders.
So like the journalist, Wesley Lowry of the Washington Post, I look forward to reading the whole story rather than the very limited feminist version.
