What's on TV? Wednesday, October 2, 1963

I always enjoy finding the story behind the story, so to speak. Take the two appearances today of movie producer/director Stanley Kramer: on Today this morning, and Tonight tonight. Obviously he's making the rounds of the talk shows, but you might wonder why. I did, until I checked and found out that his movie, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, is opening next month. Problem solved. (One of the other guests on Today is the retired Stirling Moss, one of the greatest racing drivers ever.) Oh, and of course, the first game of the World Series is on this morning (Central time); the Dodgers defeat the Yankess 5-2, with the incomparable Sandy Koufax turning in one of the great pitching performances in Series history, striking out a then-record 15.  The game took two hours and nine minutes to play; nowadays, that won't get you to the seventh inning stretch. The listings are from the Twin Cities.
