How could Jean Shepherd be tied into this article? I thought he was about as squeaky cleans they came.

Jean Shepherd used to write for Playboy, back in the 1960's, when it actually featured articles by the likes of John Updike, Kurt Vonnegut, Gore Vidal, Tom Wolfe, and others. The running joke was that "I only buy it for the articles", and it was a damned plausible proposition at one time, too.

As for me, I only stole it from my dad's bottom drawer for the articles.

He wrote some of his best stories for Playboy; I used to buy the magazine just for his stories.
