...days, four games. It is how the game was meant to be played, back before players' unions and owners' concerns over gate receipts made the double-header an endangered species, at least on the major league level...

The next great one we saw was "It Came from Beneath the Sea"; it's still one of my favorites. The giant octopus wrapped around the Golden Gate Bridge has become an iconic image in American pop.

He spent much of his time frequenting Harlem's famous cabarets and hosting legendary parties where struggling black artists could establish contacts with New York's influential whites. Van Vechten is credited with directly assisting in the publication...
