Nuclear Missile Sub Launched, All-Star Game Set for Los Angeles

"It's a Police Patrol Car!"

The George Washington submarine, designed to carry Polaris missiles, is commissioned. Liberace sues the Daily Mirror of London for saying he is gay. The Edsel is now an economy car.   Hey look! It's Dick Contino in "Daddy-'O' "

Just what baseball needed--a second all-star game. It was considered a brave new concept to generate money for the players' pension fund, with the first added all-star game coming to Los Angeles Aug. 3. The Times' Al Wolf said about $500,000 in gross receipts was expected with tickets ranging from $2-$8. The lineups could change from the first all-star game, with rosters expanded from 25 to 28 players for each team. Strange lead on Wolf's story, which focused on the weather. There would be no alternate date in case the game was rained out. Now that's news? Wolf even noted that total precipitation on that day since 1877 had been .02 of an inch or not enough "to wet a hummingbird's whistle." So why write about it at all? --Keith Thursby
