Klaas claimed that Earhart's attempted round-the-world flight and disappearance was part of an elaborate pre-Second World War spy mission orchestrated by the U.S. government. Klaas' tale was based on information received by Major Joseph Gervais. Gervais had a chance encounter with Bolan at a 1965 air show and was surprised by the resemblance between Bolan and Earhart (who had vanished over the Pacific Ocean in 1937).

For a dollar and a soap wrapper, famed Hollywood makeup artist Wally Westmore will give you your own personal beauty analysis in this November 1964 Seventeen magazine Dial soap ad featuring popular model Colleen Corby. As mentioned in the trivia game number 65 here at YRT, Westmore did the makeup for the 1932 horror film Island of Lost Souls. 32-years later this respected beauty authority graced the pages of teen fashion tome Seventeen magazine. The juxtaposition here is humorous.

From Game #3 of the 1973 World Series at Shea Stadium: Tom Seaver of the New York Mets strikes out all three Oakland Athletics he faces in the top of the fifth inning. Curt Gowdy calls the game while Tony Kubek provides analysis. The A's won the game 3-2 in 11 innings. This game also featured the last MLB appearance of Willie Mays (not included in this clip). He failed to get a hit in a pinch-hitting role.
