1964

I Want to Hold Your Hand. The Civil Rights Act and the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. She Loves You. Zip Codes. Can't Buy Me Love. Clay beats Liston for the heavyweight crown. The Cardinals, Browns, Celtics, Maple Leafs and UCLA in basketball and 'Bama in football win, too. A Hard Day's Night.

INCIDENTALLY
GOOD QUESTION
Told that Casey Stengel's boys had scored 19 runs (Mets 19, Cubs 1), a caller to a newspaper asked, "Did they win?"

Price of a ballpark hot dog: 35¬¨¬®¬¨¢.

Jim Brown becomes the first NFLer to rush for 10,000 yards.

Price of Ford's sporty new Mustang: $2,368.

Ken Venturi's 278 wins a scorcher (97° the final day) of a U.S. Open.

Get that ump an interpreter. Casey is talking.
