John F. Seegal '67 arranged the fracas as a publicity stunt for Miss Diamond's new show. "Those Wonderful Days of Burlesque", which is appearing in Boston for a week before bombing into New York. In exchange for enthusiastic Harvard bodies posing for pictures, Russ Sabbey, the show's publicity director, doled out free tickets to performances next week...
...widow who has sent friends and bigwigs thousands of copies of a book attacking the FBI. Ever since, the G-men have been following and harassing her. She wants Nero to make them lay off.
