So unusual in those days for girls to travel alone. The panel seem so astonished. Good for the young lady travelling solo.

I thought this episode was 1969 just proves I'm not attentive enough. . . I think I've seen a couple of colour episodes from this era. They're amazing.

I thought the imposters on this episode were particularly good. Usually I can eliminate one, sometimes two on each panel. Not tonight.

I suspect that the panel was given questions to ask before each show.

Okay so I went to Paris back in the 90s when I was 16. Before the trip, someone had told me that jet lag was a matter of dehydration so I pestered the stewardesses and stewards for water until they got annoyed and brought me the pitcher. When my family arrived in Paris and got to our hotel, they wanted to sleep despite having slept for the entire plane ride but I wasn't tired so I went out into the city as a woman by myself. I just so happened to be in the LGBT+ section of the city at the time and so it was all women who were interested in me. I sat in a bar, trying several wines, and helping a whole table full of beautiful women with their English (even though they really didn't need any help). The entire time I was in Europe, I was treated nothing but respectfully. I don't know if it's still that way so many decades later, but I wish our American men would learn a little something from the politeness of the Europeans because I'm sure they would get laid more often if they did. I will say that some of our younger men are very much more respectful of women so perhaps it was just something at the time when I grew up. In any case, all any one of us has to do is treat people like people and, if they're interested, that's the most attractive and alluring thing anyone can do.

It is curious that the French treated you so well. They are notoriously anti-American.

The correct name of the authoress is Jean Baer and her book, "Follow Me!"

[@johncirillo9544]

The correct word is BALATA, not batala as Peggy Cass and others are stating. Orson Bean is also incorrect. Balata was used as the cover of a golf ball because it produced a much higher spin rate when struck by irons. Balata was not used in the interior of a golf ball.

The Republicans, in their 1964 platform, condemned the creation of the hotline as a capitulation akin to Munich.

Red line - Although in popular culture it is known as the "red telephone", the hotline was never a telephone line, and no red phones were used. The first implementation used Teletype equipment, and shifted to fax machines in 1986.[3] Since 2008, the Moscow-Washington hotline has been a secure computer link over which messages are exchanged by a secure form of email. Last used by Obama. to threaten against interfaces in U.S. elections.

I saw a guy on our local course with a dog that could root out golf balls just like pigs finding truffles. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself.

Game #3: “It was made public today that a direct telephone link between Khrushchev and Kennedy has been established. The Americans called it the «line of hope». In fact it is a victory for the American imperialists, because from now on *the two international gangsters can converse in secret and hatch up plots against communism and the freedom-loving peoples.”* [ENVER HOXHA, _The Superpowers_ (Extracts from the Political Diary, 1959-1984) Emphasis is mine.]

Hard to believe but six months after this show Bud had died.

[@ALKAHESTBOY]

Four years, he died in 1969.

[@christopherjones8517]

This was not 1969!

[@jacquelinebell6201]

No this is 1965. 4 years.
