Hmm - very interesting - and you do know that naughty Graham Greene
was involved in a virtual pedophilic scandal whose subject was Shirley
Temple ...* Shades of we know who?

* For those not familiar with the scandal, GG (!) was sued by Little
Miss L (!!) when he wrote a review of "Captain January" which he found
to be "a little depraved," and of whose star he further wrote "some of
her popularity seems to rest on a coquetry quite as mature as Miss
Colbert's, and an oddly precocious body as voluptuous in grey flannel
trousers as Miss Dietrich's."

Hmm
