The hottest days of summer bring some of the sultriest entries of the Goodtime Weekly Calendar of 1963. This week, Ron Vogel presents an unknown model giving what we’d say is a definite come hither stare. The quips are back to where they started—with basic observations about men and women, including one from Alex Dreier. An interesting fellow, Dreier was a seven time Emmy winning newsman who earned his most lasting fame for using his Chicago newscast in 1956 the slam the city’s bigots. It cost him his job, but put him on the right side of history. His quip doesn’t hold up quite as well, but nobody’s perfect.
