The somewhat dampened Argentine firecracker was in Boston's Pilgrim Theater making her first public appearance since she leaped from Representative Wilbur Mills' limo and took a header into Washington's Tidal Basin. After nursing a couple of shiners in her Arlington, Va., flat (in the same building as the Mills' apartment), Anna returned to the career of burlesque dancer she gave up on Mills' advice a year...
