00:00Recorded date, 2-14-73, show number 403, air date, 3-15-73, take one, Mr.
00:14Joan Buring, Bob Ruthman, and Joanne Brown.
00:18If your first three picks match, you win that prize plus a fabulous 1973 car.
00:25It's three on a match with your host, and here he is.
00:29I don't know about that.
00:31All right, thank you all.
00:32Morning there.
00:33Hi there.
00:35Hello.
00:37Okay.
00:38Nice group of people up there.
00:42Thanks, honey.
00:44Stay on.
00:44Thanks, that's plenty for me.
00:46Oh, boy.
00:49You are the nicest bunch of people I've ever seen in my life.
00:52That's Don Pardo's army up there, and we are happy to have them with us.
00:55We started a game last time with Joan, Bob, and Joanne, and actually, at the moment,
01:02Joanne is leading with 70 points.
01:03We didn't get a chance to talk to our two new players, Joan Buring.
01:08That's right, isn't it, Joan?
01:09That's right.
01:09She's our champion, and you've won what so far, Joan?
01:13$750 in prizes.
01:14Good for you.
01:15And now here's Bob Ruthman.
01:17Hello, Bob.
01:17Hi, Bill.
01:18What do you do, sir?
01:19I'm a film writer and an industrial film producer.
01:21Well, a sort of classy occupation.
01:23I feel honored.
01:24And here's Joanne Brown.
01:26Hello, Joanne.
01:26Hi, how are you?
01:27Pretty girl.
01:27And what do you do?
01:28I'm a secretary.
01:29Okay, so try to keep those names straight.
01:32Joan, Bob, and Joanne.
01:33I will try to keep them straight.
01:34It's zero, zero, and $70 the score, and now you all get a chance to earn some money.
01:38Here come the categories.
01:40Name in the papers, where to look, and the mixed quiz.
01:42Pick a number of questions, if you would, please.
01:45How many, Joan?
01:46Three questions.
01:47Bob.
01:48Two, Bill.
01:48Joanne.
01:49Three questions.
01:50You have it, Bob.
01:50The two threes canceled each other out.
01:52$80 for two answers.
01:55Where to look.
01:56Category is where to look.
01:58If you were looking for the ruins of Pompeii, you'd go to Greece.
02:04That is false.
02:05It is.
02:05It's in Italy.
02:06If you were looking for Babe the Blue Ox, you'd find her in the story, or it, in the story
02:13of Paul Bunyan.
02:14That is true.
02:14That is right.
02:15All right, and you have $80.
02:16Take the lead there.
02:18It's not enough for a try at the board, so we go on to categories.
02:22Add the sauce, judo, and ask me anything.
02:25You need at least $90 to go to the board, and that's the reason we went right on.
02:28Picks are coming in.
02:29Joan.
02:30Four questions.
02:31Bob.
02:31Three questions, Bill.
02:32Joanne.
02:32Four questions.
02:33Hey, Bob.
02:34Again, two girls canceled each other.
02:36You can go for $110 with this one.
02:38Uh, ask me anything.
02:40I certainly will.
02:41Coming up are your questions.
02:43Three of them.
02:44London and Hong Kong are city names that have become names of an illness.
02:49London and Hong Kong.
02:51That is true, Bill.
02:51That's true.
02:52The flu.
02:53The first viaducts in recorded history were built by the ancient Romans.
03:01That is true, Bill.
03:02That's right.
03:03A federal judge can be removed from his post only by impeachment.
03:11That's false.
03:12No, that's true.
03:13I guess the word federal is an important one there.
03:15Joan and Joanne, one try to break the tie.
03:18Bob's $30 stay there, so make a pick.
03:21See what they can outsmart each other or themselves.
03:23Joan.
03:24Four questions.
03:25Joanne.
03:25Four questions.
03:26See, happiness like that.
03:27So the score stands, no change.
03:29New categories are Richard Burton, Nixon's cabinet, general info.
03:34Those are the ones you select the questions on.
03:37Joan.
03:37Two questions.
03:38Bob.
03:39Three questions.
03:39Joanne.
03:40Two questions.
03:41Bob, again.
03:42This time for another $70.
03:44Pick yourself category.
03:45General info, please, Bill.
03:46Ooh.
03:47If you get this, you pick up the $70 added to your $80 and two free boxes.
03:52The Glen Camel Open is an annual tennis tournament.
03:55That's false, Bill.
03:56Golf.
03:57During 1972, U.S. automobile manufacturers recalled more cars for safety-related defects than they built in that year.
04:07If you want that reread, during 72, the auto manufacturers recalled more cars than they built in that year.
04:14That's false.
04:15Believe it or not, it's true.
04:17They recalled $11,750,000, only built $9 million.
04:21Joanne and Joan, again, like last time, a chance to break the tie.
04:25See what happens.
04:27Joan?
04:27Three questions.
04:28Joanne?
04:28One question.
04:29Okay, you have it, Joan.
04:30You're high.
04:31Chance for $70 for three right answers.
04:34Richard Burton.
04:35Okay, got Burton for you.
04:36Three free boxes on the end.
04:38Richard Burton co-starred with Julie Andrews in the Broadway musical Camelot.
04:43True.
04:44True.
04:44True.
04:44When Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were making the movie Cleopatra, she was married to Mike Todd.
04:51False.
04:51Right, Eddie Fisher.
04:53Though he is recognized as an outstanding actor, Richard Burton has never won an Oscar.
04:59True.
04:59Right, all the way through.
05:01You have the $70, and you have those three free ones.
05:04What do you want to do?
05:06Good choice.
05:12Now, if you don't go now, you lose those three free boxes.
05:14Yeah.
05:16I'll go.
05:17Okay, that's a pretty good gamble.
05:19First, you spend your $70.
05:20When that's gone, three free ones for you.
05:22These are all items, jewelry items, diamond encrusted, or mostly diamond.
05:27Go ahead.
05:28Let me tell you.
05:29Uh, $20 on the green.
05:31Leaves you $50.
05:35$30 on the yellow.
05:37Ooh, it's good.
05:39Oh, you can't match, because you only have $20 left.
05:41You can't make the three.
05:42But it would be wise to spend that $20 before you go to your free boxes.
05:46Oh.
05:46You see, you can't pick in the $40 there.
05:48Okay.
05:48You only have $20 left.
05:50$20 on the red.
05:51Okay.
05:52Now, we come to the free boxes.
05:55Okay.
05:55Three of them.
05:55$40 on the red.
05:58That leaves two.
06:00$40 on yellow.
06:03That leaves one.
06:05This would have to be it.
06:06$40 on the blue.
06:08You did it.
06:10Took a little bit of gold, but you did it.
06:12Ring all the way across.
06:18You're nice.
06:20You have, in addition to your $750, you have a ring.
06:23And, Don, get your jeweler's loop, take a look at it, and tell Joan about it.
06:27I'll be happy to, Bill.
06:28It's a lovely white gold ring with three-quarter carat center diamonds surrounded by round diamonds and baguettes from Meyer
06:34Hertz.
06:35Congratulations.
06:37Our congratulations, Joan.
06:42Our thanks to you, Bob Ruthman, and to you, Joanne, for being with us.
06:46You were very nice.
06:46Nice to have you, and we have a gift for each of you.
06:49Joan, we'll have a couple of new challengers for you in a moment.
06:52Right now, as usual at this point, we pause briefly.
06:54Back in just a moment, first, this word for you.

07:10The economy, Vega.
07:11All right, back to you, Bill.
07:12Thank you, Don.
07:13Sorry about those fallen arches.
07:16Speaking of fallen arches, we have with us a pre-medical student at Columbia University, Paul Orlov.
07:21Hi, Bill.
07:22Hello, Paul. Happy to have you.
07:24You're at Columbia now?
07:25I'm at Columbia University.
07:26Interning, are you?
07:27No, I hope to go to medical school in September.
07:29Oh, and then comes the interning time.
07:30And here is Vinnie Racioppo.
07:33Right.
07:33Lovely name. What do you do, Vinnie?

07:37Oh, really?
07:38We've got a medical student and a registered nurse here.
07:39How do you feel, Joan?
07:42Nervous.
07:42Okay, they'll give you a little artificial something or other later on.
07:46But we're starting a brand new game.
07:47Joan, Paul, Vinnie, everybody ready.
07:49Here come the categories.

07:59Paul, your top man, I bet I know what you're going to pick.
08:01There's $90 there.
08:02You will try drug slang.
08:03I rather thought you would try that.
08:05No, drug slang.
08:06Up here is drug slang.
08:07Drug slang is a top hickey.
08:09I'll put that one back.
08:10Okay, drug slang.
08:11Drug slang, Paul.
08:12Four questions for you.
08:13Mary Jane is a slang term for marijuana.
08:16That's true, Bill.
08:17One right.
08:18When a drug user talks about Vinnie's, he's referring to tranquilizers.
08:23Tranquilizers?
08:24That's false, Bill.
08:26It is, amphetamines.
