...such as Philadelphia's Norm Van Brocklin, 33, and Pittsburgh's Bobby Layne, 32, still dominate their teams. With a tricky, lateraling attack, the Chicago Cardinals can erupt for clusters of points. Last year's champion Baltimore Colts can field a covey of stars led by young (26) Johnny Unitas, a onetime reject from the Pittsburgh Steelers who is rated the best quarterback in football, throws touchdown passes from the shelter of the league's finest offensive tackle, mammoth (6 ft. 3 in., 275 Ibs.)

When The Killers appeared on CBS's Buick Electra Playhouse last week, the story...
