Ralph Sackett, a public relations person whose principal client is GOP gubernatorial candidate Borg (Beanie) Olson). Mary Margaret Mergenthaler, the Democrat-Farmer-Labor candidate for lieutenant-governor. Lester Fester, the MUSH executive editor, a fearless journalist when fueled with Wild Turkey. Jerry Burns, a veteran city editor. LifeStyle editor Doodie Vermun. Lassiter Diddleworth, editor-and-publisher. Several Diddleworth relatives-by-marriage employed at the MUSH. The State Council on Fairness in the Media.  A snarl of lawyers (Wiley Snagg \u0026amp;.Stahl, Levy Botch \u0026amp; Bray, Muddie Waters \u0026amp; Scamm). And H.
