The funny thing about the “Atom Bomber” is that it’s really a C-97 cargo plane. (It was based on the B-29, but the differences would have been obvious to any kid sixty years ago.)
Forty years ago, KNBC-TV in Los Angeles had a “weather girl” named Kelly Lange. Part of her job was to go to the beach on summer days and deliver the forecast while wearing a bikini. I never heard why the station ended that practice, but I think it had a lot to do with the way the weather turned chilly one September day. Not long after shivering through the forecast, Lange announced she was a bit too old for bikinicasting. (Nobody really thought so, but it was a graceful way out for everyone. Afterwards she did the forecast from the studio, and moved on to interviewing guests.)
