Any alternative evidence of Libnitz-Rudman “national headlines”?

Whether it’s real if not, it’s a fun story

Seems that “Stan Libnitz: My Way” purportedly published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux (1949), is made up. No record with FSG, or with Library of Congress. (I also checked other feasible spellings of Libnitz). Similarly ‘Books Out of Print’ does not list it.

If someone else wins today’s woman’s competition, Miki will complain about cheating. She blamed Booker, the nicest most honest guy in competitive eating for cheating, nothing is below her. Seriously, if Michelle wins, I would call in a fed because Miki may call in a bomb threat as she did when her boyfriend used her credit card.
