While Recluse Hughes remained in his suite in Las Vegas' Desert Inn, which he bought last March, Frank was doing his best to tear down another recent Hughes acquisition, the Sands Hotel. Drowning his sorrow after his casino credit was cut off at a mere $200,000, Sinatra 1) tried unsuccessfully to set fire to his suite, 2) jerked all the telephone jacks and trunk lines out of the hotel's switchboard, 3) promised a pit boss that...

...great many people not to do this," he says. "I don't think I ever hesitated." Indeed, from the day of his inauguration, Shafer began plotting and plugging for reform. With his aides, he set up a special office wryly dubbed "Fort Courage" in the Penn-Harris Motor Inn near the capitol building in Harrisburg. He enlisted Scranton's help, as well as that of former Democratic Governor George M. Leader; he raised $50,000 to finance the campaign and began a fatiguing round of personal appearances.
