"The semifinalists were chosen in a ceremony marred by the hysterical collapse backstage of Edna Park, Miss Nigeria, who cried uncontrollably for nearly 30 minutes after failing to make the cut. 'No, no,' she sobbed, pounding her fists on the rough wooden floor.  Heartroken, she resisted efforts of a newsman and pageant hostess to prop her into a sitting position.  And after several agonizing minutes she was carried kicking and screaming to a dressing room by a policeman and contest official."
