Clifton Kendrick from Park Forest, Illinois: “I collected 40
insects for a school project…1 wasp,
1 mosquito, 1 roach, 1 katydid, 1 silverfish, 1 springtail, 1 praying mantis, 2
bees, 2 moths, 3 grasshoppers, 3 crickets, 4 bugs, 5 flies, 5 beetles, 9
butterflies” and his baby brother Timothy: “I ate them all”
Two year old Timothy charms the panel
and the audience in a delightful segment. When the story made the rounds a few weeks ago, the Milwaukee Public Museum arranged to replace Clifton's collection.
Mr. X: “I hit the home run that won the World Series for
Pittsburgh (Bill Mazeroski)”
Mazeroski’s blast in Game 7 on October
13 remains the only time a World Series was decided by a walk-off home run.
While this is the most famous moment in his 17-year career, “Maz” was a
seven-time All-Star, an eight-time Golden Glove winner, and is considered one
of the best defensive second basemen of all time. He was voted into the Hall of Fame by the
Veterans Committee in 2001. Knowing Bill
is a baseball fan from Pittsburgh, Mazeroski brings him a ball signed by the
team.
Special Guest Arlene Francis divides
the panel by gender and stages a debate on the Battle of the Sexes. Debates are at the forefront of everyone’s
minds. With three weeks to go until the
1960 election, Nixon and Kennedy will have their fourth and final debate on
Friday, October 21, this one on the subject of foreign policy. The Kennedy-Nixon debates were the first
presidential debates in history, and Kennedy’s smooth and polished performance
on television is credited in part with helping him win his slim victory over
Nixon. Miss Francis, of course, is a
panelist on Secret’s sister show What’s My Line?, and she is also
promoting her new book That Certain
Something (Messner 1959).
