Bob Frampton writes of the Beats: "A
tumble of words about a train in the night.
In the dingy, badly lighted coffee house
with 30 or so young people listening …

… "We've got the beginnings for an American art renaissance here and being let alone to work without a lot of unnecessary rules somebody else made is a big part of it."

The Rams lost their season opener at the Coliseum, 23-21 to the New
York Giants, who were led by a couple of future broadcasters.

Pat Summerall kicked three field goals, including one with 1:58
remaining, to lead the Giants. Frank Gifford scored a touchdown for New
York.

More than 71,000 people were at the Coliseum. Tell me again why L.A.
can't support a pro football team? The town sure did a good job once
upon a time.
