...visit to the embassy was scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday. Long had contacted about 30 newspapers and wire services, asking them to appear at the embassy at 10 or at a press conference at 12:30 p.m. at the National Press Club. He spoke personally to Tom Wicker, the Washington Bureau Chief of the New York Times.

No occasion was too exclusive, no dignitary too aloof for Berman, who posed as a waiter to demand Queen Elizabeth II's autograph during her 1957 visit, crashed J.F.K.'s Inaugural Ball in 1961, and had his finest moment in 1962 when he charged onstage to hand Bob Hope an Oscar in front of 100 million TV watchers...
