Appendix a METHODS of INQUIRY Appendix A METHODS OF INQUIRY 197 Many of our conclusions regarding the content of gossip col­ umns were based on sampies of syndicated columns from the time intervals 1954-1955, 1964-1965, and 1974-1975. For each time period, the entire population of column titles published in Philadelphia newspapers was studied. In 1954-1955, the follow­ ing columnists were examined: Earl Wilson, Dorothy Kilgallen, Jimmie Fidler, and Cholly Knickerbocker in the Daily News; Ed Sullivan, Walter Winchell, Louella Parsons, and Leonard Lyons in the Inquirer; and Hedda Hopper in the Bulletin. In 1964-1965, Earl Wilson, Dorothy Kilgallen, Harry Hefferman, Dick Kleiner, Vernon Scott, and Suzy were studied in the Daily News; Mike Connolly, Louella Parsons, Leonard Lyons, Robert Sylvester, Hy Gardner, Herb Stein, and Walter Winchell in the Inquirer; and Sheilah Graham, Hedda Hopper, and "Here and There" in 199 200 APPENDIX A the Bulletin. In 197~1975, Earl Wilson and Hy Gardner were examined in the Daily News; Joyce Haber, Suzy, Maxine Chesh­ ire, Betty Beale, "Personalities, Etc.," and "People in Entertain­ ment" in the Inquirer; and Walter Scott, Marilyn Beck, and "TV Tattletales" in the Bulletin. Two dates per column title were randomly selected within each time interval. Finally, the first twelve instances of gossip in each of the selected titles per date were examined. An instance of gossip was indicated by the presence of information about a well-known person. This procedure yielded a final sampie of 495 instances of gossip. By means of appropriate recording sheets and defini­ tions of categories, each instance of gossip in the sampie was coded for the following characteristics: 1. The sex, race, and occupation of the target of gossip 2. The sodal context in which the gossip occurred (e.g., biographical, relationship and romance, pregnancy and the birth of a child, occupational information, drug and alcohol use, illness, death, party or sodal affair, public appearance, and travel) 3. The normative orientation of the gossip (e.g., foreign­ born, dating and marriage, homosexuality, occupa­ tional praise or disapproval, ostentatious display of wealth, use of power, herosim or perseverence, crim­ inal activities, drug and alcohol use, violation of folk­ ways, and legal involvement and the courts) In addition, information regarding the format of the column and the columnist' s approval or disapproval of a celebrity' s behavior was recorded. The final category systems were developed by means of extensive pretesting on a cornparable sampie of gossip columns. The intercoder reliability of all measures was tested by having three coders independently code twenty-three instances of gos­ sip taken at random from the population of columns. With the use of a two-out-of-three criterion (i.e., two of the three coders METHOns OF INQUIRY 201 agreed), agreement ranged from 91 percent to 100 percent. Total agreement (i.e., three of the three coders agreed) ranged from 61 percent to 96 percent. We also content-analyzed a sampIe of articles taken from the four most widely circulated gossip tabloids-the National Enquirer, the Star, the National Examiner, and the Globe-during the six-month period from February to July 1983. For each month, one issue per title was selected at random. This procedure yielded a total sampIe of twenty-four issues-six per title. All of the articles (excluding those less than a half page in length) pub­ lished in the selected issues were subjected to analysis (N = 311). Using appropriate recording sheets and definitions of categories, we coded each article in the sampIe for the following characteristics: 1. The sex, race, age, celebrity status (celebrity vs. obscure), and occupation of the target of gossip 2. The tone of the gossip (negative/positive/negative sit­ uation with happy or hopeful conclusion) 3. The quality of the gossip (mundane or everyday vs. extraordinary or especially important) 4. The topic of the gossip (romance or personal prob­ lems: alcoholism, drug abuse, obesity, victim of crime, medicalor psychological illness; unusual occur­ rences: courage, unusual gift, miracle; occupational facts: films, personal appearances, records) The final category systems were developed by means of pretesting on a comparable sampIe of articles published in the tabloids under study. The intercoder reliability of all measures was tested by having three coders (including one of the authors, who subsequently coded the entire sampIe of articles) inde­ pendently code ten articles taken at random from the sampIe of tabloids. Using a two-out-of-three criterion (i.e., at least two of 202 APPENDIX A the three coders agreed), agreement ranged from 90 percent to 100 percent. To collect data concerning face-to-face gossip, we ana­ lyzed 194 instances of gossip as they occurred in the conversa­ tions of 76 male and 120 female college students at a large northeastem university. These data were collected by having trained observers overhear conversations in the student lounge. Seventeen male and eighteen female two- or three-per­ son conversations were rated by either of two observers--one male, the other female-who had been trained in the use of a recording sheet designed for data collection purposes. All data were collected during a weekday interval between 11 A.M. and 2 P.M. for aperiod of eight weeks. To eliminate the influence of the sex of the observer, the two observers each coded one half of the male and one half of the female conversations. The observ­ ers always collected data in the same section of the lounge, seated unobtrusively with their backs to the group whose con­ versation they were recording. For the sake of detail, conver­ sations lasting less than three minutes were eliminated from consideration. Ouring the eight-week data-collection phase of the study, there were always large numbers of students in the lounge (almost always more than fifty), so that an observer's presence never aroused suspicion. An instance of gossip was indicated by the presence of conversation about any third person, whether present or absent from the group. The observer noted the following information on the recording sheet about each instance of gossip: (1) the amount of time spent discussing a target; (2) the sex of the target; (3) the subject of the gossip (e.g., friend, teacher, stranger, celeb­ rity, family member, or politician); (4) the topic of gossip (e.g., sex, dating, politics, sports, or course work); (5) the tone (posi­ tive, negative, or mixed); and (6) the presence or absence of the target. In addition, each conversation was coded for the follow­ ing characteristics: (1) the number of group members; (2) the sex of the group members; and (3) the percentage of conversation devoted to gossip. The category systems were developed by means of extensive pretesting on conversations in the student lounge. The intercoder reliability of all measures was tested by having the METHODS OF INQUIRY 203 two observers independently code ten instances of gossip from the same four conversations. Agreement between observers ranged from 60 percent to 100 percent. To study the methods used by gossip reporters, we con­ ducted fifteen personal interviews with regional and national columnists and reporters from newspapers, magazines, and tab­ loids. Most were face-to-face interviews in the offices and hornes of our informants. Our subjects were told that we were writing a book on gossip and that we were specifically interested in how gossip reporters did their work. The interview schedule (see Appendix B) provided enough structure to ensure that we would cover major issues relating to the work of gossip reporters, but it was sufficiently flexible and open-ended to allow the subjects to elaborate freely and to suggest ideas that we did not think to pursue. Virtually every interviewee was highly cooperative. Each generously shared time, information, and feelings with us; indeed, some were reinterviewed despite their demanding schedules. Although it was obviously impossible to interview leg­ endary gossip columnists, we made use of various secondary sources, inc1uding their autobiographies and biographies. We also spent time in the field visiting and observing the very set­ tings where gossip is colleeted and produced. For example, one of the authors spent time informally observing and casually talk­ ing with the staff of the National Enquirer in its Lantana, Florida, headquarters.

Scott Fitzgerald in St. Paul, Minnesota on January 4, 1915 there was instant chemistry between them. That night in her diary, Ginevra exclaimed, “Scott perfectly darling am dipped about.” For his part, Scott was equally smitten with Ginevra; although he was due back in Princeton immediately, Scott stayed over an extra day to spend more time with the brunette debutante from Chicago. Upon his return to Princeton, Scott immediately sent Ginevra a special delivery letter; according to the customs of the time, such a letter constituted Scott’s formal declaration that he was interested in pursuing a correspondence with Ginevra. A vivacious and fun- loving girl, Ginevra was no stranger to the importance of a “special delie” and the epistolary game was afoot.

Edgar Hoover was the FBI’s first director. In this unsparing exploration of one of the most powerful Americans of the twentieth century, accomplished historian Marc Aronson unmasks the man behind the Bureau — his tangled family history and personal relationships; his own need for secrecy, deceit, and control; and the broad trends in American society that shaped his world. Using photographs, cartoons, movie posters, and FBI transcripts, Master of Deceit helps readers to understand Hoover’s motives and the political climate of the United States in the twentieth century. Aronson’s balanced writing and meticulous research provide readers with ample evidence, allowing them to draw their own conclusions as to whether or not Hoover’s methods were justified. As a teaching resource for the high-school classroom, Master of Deceit offers a rich opportunity for students to practice critical thinking skills and to consider the balance that must be struck by a government between providing security and upholding the constitutional rights of its citizens. This guide provides classroom activities, materials, and suggested movies that can be used in conjunction with Master of Deceit. A discussion guide is also available at www.candlewick.com.
