Concentrating on the people who have helped build the city, NBC interviews a woman surgeon and a Trans-Siberian Railroad engineer...

Last week, with the Yanks locked in a 2-2 tie against the Red Sox, Mantle came to bat with two men on, two out, in the bottom of the ninth. Boom! He cracked a game-winning homer 380 ft. into the rightfield seats. Next night, once more against Washington, he walloped two others in a doubleheader. That gave him 18 for the season and 491 for his career...

This year in Germany, coal will be replaced as the primary energy source for the first time-by oil. The oil boom, however, is of little benefit to German companies, because most of the petroleum is supplied and refined by international giants. These companies-Esso, Caltex, British Petroleum, Shell-have also steadily gained control of distribution in Germany until there was only one wholly German-owned company left, Deutsche Erdöl AG. Last week, despite initial objections by the Bonn government, shareholders decided overwhelmingly to sell that lone holdout for about $160 million to Texaco...
