Four students who have found unusual summer jobs: 
Steve Deakins from Marietta, Georgia: “I panned for gold in Alaska” 
Lloyd Greenly from Monmouth Beach, New Jersey: “I count mosquitoes (for mosquito control commission)” 
Richard Guthrie from Phoenix, Arizona: “I ran a rickshaw taxi service” 
[Steven Labstein] from Manhattan: “I get paid to sleep (for a medical research project)”                 
Each panelist gets to question one of the four young men.   

Eight-year-old Mark Lee from Fort Lauderdale, Florida: “I made an unassisted triple play” 
Mark plays Little League for the Orange Bullets of Oakland Park.  Given how crazy Little League plays can be, this was pretty straightforward.  Mark was the second baseman.  With the bases loaded, he caught a line drive, stepped on second to force that runner out, and tagged the runner coming from first.  As impressive as that sounds, more accurately, the ball just happened to land in Mark’s glove while he was protecting his face, the coach (his father) told him to touch second, and the runner from first accidentally ran into him.  In the Major Leagues, only fifteen players have ever made an unassisted triple play.  That’s fewer than have thrown a perfect game.   

Special guest Arlene Francis: “I’m learning to play the trombone” 
Arlene is performing in summer stock along the East Coast in a new play called Mrs. Dolly Has a Lover.  In that work, her character plays the trombone.  She has only learned a few notes, and hasn’t even mastered those, but Norman Paris comes up with a clever arrangement of the Cole Porter classic “Night and Day” (1932) which allows her to attempt a performance, with the assistance of professional trombonist Jack Rayne.  Mrs. Dolly Has a Lover has all but vanished from public awareness today.
