...Snodgrass dramatically opened a registered letter, postmarked May 10, 1957, which not only gave the questions for the May 13 show (Sample: "What are the names of the Seven Dwarfs?") but also the instructions for painfully spitting out the answers ("Sleepy, Sneezy, Dopey, Happy, pause-the grouchy one-Grumpy-Doc -pause-the bashful one!").

West Point's All-American fullback, Air Force Major Felix ("Doc") Blanchard, 34, got an official citation for not fumbling in a tight spot. Piloting a Super Sabre jet last month in England, Blanchard suddenly found his aircraft on fire. He could have simply hit the silk-but his plane might have plunged into a heavily populated area. Doc Blanchard made his choice, rode his winged torch down to a happy landing. Said an Air Forceman: "One of the finest flying jobs I ever...
