Perhaps Summers' most bizarre revelation is an account provided by Susan Rosenstiel, the wife of a liquor distiller and gambling crony. Rosenstiel recalls attending what she thought would be an elegant private party at New York City's Plaza Hotel in the company of lawyer Roy Cohn, Hoover and others. Instead, Cohn introduced Rosenstiel to a woman named "Mary," dressed in a fluffy black dress, lace stockings and high heels. It was obvious Mary was no woman. "You could see where he shaved. It was Hoover," said Rosenstiel. Joined by Cohn, Hoover stripped down to a tiny garter belt...

...other Schenley stockholders, Riklis has announced terms quite different from the Rosenstiel purchase. Though Rosenstiel was paid largely in cash, other shareholders will be offered a package of cash, long-term debentures and warrants for their stock. The terms were hardly made known when last week three irate Schenley stockholders brought suits to block the deal. Among their charges: that Riklis would merely raid Schenley's treasury to recoup the merger costs...
