I don't know about Joyce Brothers' status with APA either, but I have
heard her say in an interview that she thought the $64,000 Question
program staff resorted to cheating to try to get her to lose. She wasn't
very popular with the viewers so the program wanted her gone and
supposedly gave her relatively harder questions than her competition.
