...time for Captain Cleveland, a midafternoon kiddy show on Cleveland's WKBF-TV. The host, Ventriloquist John Slowey, slipped lavaliere mikes around the necks of his young dummy, "Private Clem," and of the guest of the day. "What do I call you-your highness?" piped the bug-eyed puppet. The guest shook his head, smiled, and replied: "Most people use the name Mr. Mayor." So began the first of a weekly series of appearances by Carl Stokes, the first elected Negro head of a major U.S. city and the most winning on-air mayor for the kids since...
Captain Cleveland is aimed at children from three to ten, and the Private Clem and Mr. Mayor colloquies are designed to interest the kids in government and, by implication, good race relations. Clem's questions run from "Do you own the city?" to "Is the policeman my friend?"

What's the very latest flight of fancy on Manhattan's fluttery gallery row? Rembrandt's The Night Watch. Rembrandt's The Night Watch? That's right, along with Titian, Fragonard and Van Dyck.

...beauty of the Oakland Raider lineup is its solidity. With Clem Daniels injured, the Raiders have no spectacular individual performers (as Kansas City did last year), but more importantly they have no weaknesses. The front four of Davidson, Keating, Birdwell, and Lassiter may not dominate the game but they will hold their own up front. Middle linebacker Dan Connors is not as ostentations as the Pack's Ray Nitschke but he does the job. And Oakland's defensive backfield is every bit as good as Green Bay's! Willie Brown, Kent McLoughan, and Dave Grayson are quick, man, quick. Lance...
...injury to his left knee, he was so gloomy that he was threatening to quit football. A wrecked knee cartilage has also sidelined New York Jets Emerson Boozer and Matt Snell; a dislocated shoulder stopped Baltimore Colt End Raymond Berry; broken bones have benched Giant Tackle Jim Moran and Clem Daniels, top rusher of the A.F.L.-leading Oakland Raiders. Kansas City Linebacker E. J. Holub, a veteran of seven previous knee operations faces surgery again-this time for a torn hamstring muscle...
