Tight Security
We poor reporters are forced to show our printed pass each time we enter, despite the large "PRESS" badges hanging around our necks. The four large gentlemen on the door are not to be disagreed with tonight.
Perhaps it's the "Marcel Lüske effect". Marcel has a crowd surrounding his table at the moment. He does have that film star glow about him.
