Buffum’s Stash #3: The Iron maiden

What a difference an edition makes.

Check these two photos published on page 2 on November 22, 1968 in the Akron Beacon Journal.

The same woman is pictured in both, but the captions change.

In the first edition she is referred to as an Iron maiden in some sort of all-metal fashion.

In the final edition she is correctly identified, I hope, as Gerry Van der Heavel, appointed press secretary to Mrs. Richard Nixon.
