Mobster Sam Giacona's FBI codename was Rapunzel.

Giacona and Jack K. shared the affections of Judith Exner.

Inverarity/JFK falls from the tower (on his ass) while climbing Rapunzel's
loose hairpiece. . Does this make Oedipa Judith, Sam or the hairpiece? All
of the above?

Not very political unfortunately.
