No. I am not going to show you nude photos of Hillary Clinton.
BUT During the 1940's to the 1970's Harvard university had a bizarre requirement for all incoming freshman; they asked all young men and women enrolled in their first year to pose nude. Thousands of pictures were taken of such students as Diane Sawyer, George Bush, and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Back in 1995 NYT reporter Ron Rosenbaum found out this story and was the first to report it. I like to bring it up because some students are now complaining that they have to use clear plastic back packs and say they are an "invasion of privacy". And while this was voluntary...it would not be very acceptable now. The reasoning behind this strange request was that a scientist of psychology, William Herbert Sheldon, believed he could study, track, and research diseases such as rickets, scoliosis, and other posture issues. Sheldons written works infered something else...an attempt to study the correlation between a persons body shape and their intelligence. And no written permission of any kind was given by the students. And then there were rumors of break-ins at the university where the photos were stored, with many pilfered photos supposedly ending up on the black market... “You always thought when you did it that one day they’d come back to haunt you. That 25 years later, when your husband was running for President, they’d show up in Penthouse,” confessed Sally Quinn who graduated from a Seven Sisters college, Smith in 1963.
