MDA Chairman of the Board R. Rodney Howell issued a statement on
August 3, saying that Jerry Lewis “will not be appearing on the telethon”
and “we will not be replacing him as MDA national chairman.” The 85 
year old Lewis had announced in May that he was retiring as host of
the show, which he has done since 1966. Lewis also had said  that he
planned to make his final appearance on this year’s telethon which is 
scheduled for this evening. The nonprofit agency made no explanation
for the moves. 

The Edsel was introduced amid considerable publicity on "E Day",
September 4, 1957. It was also promoted by a top-rated television
special, The Edsel Show, on October 13, but the promotional effort
was not enough to counter the adverse initial public reaction to the
car’s styling and conventional build. Ford announced the end of the
Edsel program on Thursday, November 19, 1959. However, the
production of the car continued until late in November, with the
final tally at 2,846 1960 models.

In 1967 Paul Harvey paid a visit to radio KATN in Boise, Idaho where this

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet premiered on ABC-TV on October 10, 1952
and due to declining ratings, the show was canceled with the last episode airing 
on September 3, 1966. The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet ran for a total of 
fourteen seasons, and for almost four de cades, held the record as the longest  
running television sitcom, live or animated, until that record was broken by The
Simpsons in 2004. It still holds the record for the longest running live-action
sitcom in television history.
