Daijirin
  Comments:
The newspaper example is about a politician in which case I think we would 
use "embarrasement" rather than "shame"?

I found this entry in WI4 file but there are also entries in RH and BU.
Looking at Daijirin I think かく might be  掛く which is in file RH but I don't 
know if that is correct.
