The kind of follow-up story after that article's appearance where this
"mystery woman" stops acting so coy, and actually allows herself to be
seen by the public. What is she afraid of...the truth?
I find it very difficult to believe that her tipping off the radio
station launched the career of The Beatles in America. In early
November, Epstein and Sullivan had all ready worked out the deal for
their TV appearances on the latter's show.
And as many have all ready pointed out, there were a small cluster of
stations in the US that had all ready played some of The Beatles'
recordings before WWDC.
