Truman Capote is an American writer.
 Many of Capote's circle of high-society female friends, whom he nicknamed his "swans", were featured in the text, some under pseudonyms and others by their real names
 The novelist Merle Miller issued a complaint about the picture at a publishing forum, and the photo of "Truman Remote" was satirized in the third issue of Mad (making Capote one of the first four celebrities to be spoofed in Mad)
