03-25 19:30
Nothere:
Drat. I don’t know any Pan American employees to wildly accues.
03-25 19:30

03-25 19:31
Rich in Maine:
WFF on the move!
03-25 19:31
Ziah:

03-25 19:31

03-25 19:43
Friend and Foxx:
Thanks Mike!!
03-25 19:43
Nothere:

03-25 19:45
Rush:
Chan catches him here!
03-25 19:45
Friend and Foxx:
His helmet should be spiked.
03-25 19:46

Zings like ziss!!
03-25 20:01
Rich in Maine:
Things like THIS never happen
03-25 20:01

Thanks, Rush! I’d somehow thought L.A. had been also ’36.
Mr.Cartwright always here.
03-25 20:07
Nothere:
Rats. I only have a 150 inch telescope.
03-25 20:08
Rush:
200-inch telescope – At the time of Charlie Chan at the Olympics, the proposed 200-inch telescope that was to sit atop Mount Palomar in San Diego County in California was still in the early preparatory stages. Daunting work to precisely grind the 200-inch mirror for the telescope began in the mid-1930s, and the working telescope itself was not completed until 1949. Evidently, the prospect of peering deeply into the universe by means of this telescope was, for those alive during Charlie Chan’s time, something much akin to how we, today, consider the orbiting Hubble telescope.
Charlie Chan: “Could not be more clear if seen through 200-inch telescope.”
03-25 20:08
Mike in DC:
size matters, NT.
03-25 20:08
Friend and Foxx:
Ya gotta keep up with the crimes, Notty!

How many rocks crash through incorrect windows, & are not returned by inadvertent recipients?
03-25 20:11
Mike in DC:
maybe a telegram? certainly not a trans-Atlantic/trans-Pacific call to Honolulu
03-25 20:12
Matt:
C’mon Jesse!
03-25 20:12
Nothere:
So many people saw this Olympic footage before Olympics.
03-25 20:12
Mike in DC:
True, FF. And so few rock-throwers think to put a return address on their messages. Shame.
03-25 20:12
Rush:
Hitler was not pleased!
03-25 20:13

Pole-vaulters had to be pretty brave in those days…
03-25 20:13
Rush:
Yes, Phil!
He’s already prepared to fend off another kick to his shin!
03-25 20:13
Friend and Foxx:
The choppy, low-tech film of the runners is, to us, more absorbing than anything flat-screeny.
03-25 20:14
Phil:
Pole vaulters have got to be pretty brave TODAY.
03-25 20:14
Rush:
In the day, F&F, that would have been higher tech!
03-25 20:14
Mike in DC:
