Sweig was named in the suit as having arranged a meeting last May between the SEC and representatives of the Parvin/Dohrmann Co., a manufacturer of hospital, restaurant and hotel equipment with interests in Las Vegas gambling operations. The purpose of the parley was to end the commission's ban on the sale of the firm's stock; six days later, the stop order was canceled. Subsequent investigation persuaded the SEC to bring the suit last week on charges that the price of Parvin/Dohrmann stock was being manipulated.

...being impersonated by a double. Gibb figured it all out from two Beatles album covers.

He hopes to use the results of a special federal investigation prepared by the Justice Department for a similar antitrust suit in California, which charged that the auto companies conspired to keep anti-pollution devices off their cars. The Government recently allowed the companies to settle that case out of court after...
...sang to himself. He was allowed a few books, including a manual of yoga, which, he says, "turned out to be my salvation." By last Christmas, he had become almost sanguine. On that day, he related, "I felt a quiet sort of joy. I put on my best suit, to the puzzlement of the guards, and I tried to make it special, though I was so alone...
