Like many another well-heeled man about town, Purcell had also gotten into show business; he had established a firm called Star Management Co. and was managing a string of nightclub singers. He helped promote one of them, a buxom and glad-eyed lass named Terri Stevens, by getting her named Miss Firefighter of 1950.

Last week, because WNBC inadvertently sold someone else 15 minutes of her show, Mary Margaret huffily announced that she would move her 17 sponsors and $500,000 in billings over to rival station...
