Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. MIRACLE AT SEA - 2,500 escape death, when the Italian luxury liner Andrea Doria is sunk off Nantucket in a collision with the Swedish liner Stockholm. All aboard the Italian vessel were rescued in a large-scale co-operative operation involving other liners and the Coast Guard. 4 later die of injuries, but the toll is miraculously light, in what could have been one of the sea's worst disasters. 2A/B. FULL-RIGGED SAILING SHIP enters New York Harbor, bringing a scene from long ago to the busy port. A Norwegian training ship, she carries 150 cadets–perpetuating the days of wooden ships and iron men. / ITALIAN WATER CLOCK ticks off its seventieth year. Powered by the flow of a mountain stream, this unique work of craftsmanship has stood the test of time, running seven decades without faltering. 3. FASHION PARADE spotlights the latest creations of Italy's high style designers, with a gala presentation of elegant evening ensembles, in a setting of opulence that complements the gowns' splendor. 4. SPORTS — ANOTHER RECORD FOR SWAPS, his fourth this year, as the fabulous thoroughbred shows his heels to the field in the $110,000 Sunset Handicap at Inglewood, Cal., a win-pool only race, with odds on Swaps a forbidding 1 to 10.
