Under Pressure

First time in forever that I have, quite literally, 27 hours to turn a C+ Wired story into an A-. Not sure I have what it takes, especially since this lede ain't even close to humming, but I owe the good folks in San Francisco my best shot. Back to y'all once the tale is safely in my editor's hands; 'til then, meditate upon Robert Diggs' first spin through the celebrity machine, before Wu-Tang was even a glimmer in his eye.
