affair, I almost decided to jump
    from the San Francisco bridge. I had stopped my car.

#   Dear Sirs,                                                      7/6/90

#       I am responding to a report on CNN last night.
#   
#       They showed a photographer, Jock Sturges, and some of his unpublished
#       photos, and said the FBI confiscated them. According to the report, no
#       sex was involved in the photos, he's a reputable photog, and the San
#       Francisco City Council went so far as to pass a bill/resolution saying
#       the FBI should release the collection.
#   
#       Why have you confiscated photos if no sex is involved? As far as I can
#       tell, the photos would be no different from some photog books listed
#       in the Library of Congress.
#   
#       The fact that you've confiscated the photos, but still haven't charged
#       the photog, seems to indicate you're operating on auto-pilot, and that
#       there is nothing wrong with the photos. I've never seen a news report
#       where law enforcement wasn't sure, for this particular charge.
#   
#       It seems that you think some people may have "dirty thoughts" if they
#       see the photos; that would make you the "Thought Police"!
#   
#   Sincerely,
#   Guy

The New York Times was no help.

They subsequently reviewed his work and called it ~"boring, been there, done
that". As if what they thought of his photos had a damn thing to do with the
matter.

The New York Times then continued to print topless pictures of young girls,
such as
