denied, I returned to the hall and shouted ‘You're full of
(obscene)', so loud it shook the Cepital Building. When the
cops tried to jump me, I told them the Committee requested
I do it in the hall. They let me go. Half an hour lster our
lawyers, who had been raising’objections throughout the day,
stood in protest with their cliehts. We were all hustled
out by the cops and that ended Act I. Wednesday, we troke
for Yom Kippur or the World Series, and the comuittee carried
