Notes: The next interview done at the Plaza Hotel on this day was for the TV show "PM Magazine" by journalist Nancy Glass.

Notes: Possibly the last interview done this day at the Plaza Hotel was given to the Boston based TV show "Good Day!".
The interview was done by Eileen Prose and was broadcast the very next day.
In April 2017, Eileen, on her own Youtube channel, uploaded the raw footage of the interview.
Seems Eileen managed to get about 4 minutes more than most journalists did that day!
The original broadcast, though not in circulation to our knowledge, was probably longer with the inclusion of "Broad St" footage etc.
