Outrage is exactly what the strange craft was intended to provoke. The stunt of putting an outboard motor in a gondola was perpetrated by Gino Macropodio, who led his 350 fellow gondoliers in their latest protest against the growing encroachment of motorized craft in Venice.

...also has time for lucrative sidelines. Notes Van Brocklin: "How about such modern players as Johnny Unitas, who is building three bowling alleys in Baltimore, and is so well fixed in stock holdings that he'll probably come out of this league a millionaire. Or the Colts' Gino Marchetti, owner of a string of hamburger hutches; Alan Ameche, proprietor of six restaurants; and Tommy McDonald, at the tender age of 26, is a director of an Oklahoma bank and also gets a handsome sum from a Southwest bowling alley just for the use of his name...
