Biography of Robert Harrison, publisher of scandal magazine Confidential, as played by Danny DeVito in LA Confidential. Not much to it, and if you came for the gossip there's a running theme that the scandals were mundane. The only piece new to me was Orson Welles allegedly being a biter.
A lot of page length went towards redeeming Confidential for breaking through taboos and social barriers, and minimizing Harrison being a scumbag. Enough here for a decent article, but not enough meat on the bone for 300+ pages.
