I also supported a report dealing with the financial aspects of the state's treatment of its citizens over 65. I don't know whether anything has or will result from this effort. It was the result of an appeal from Phil Kaiser, Harriman's special consultant on the aged.

Harriman also asked me if I would help him with this when I went with him and Marie to a baseball game at Ebbett's field, when the Dodgers first got the edge over the Yankees in the World Series of '55. It was an exciting day and I was feeling generous, I suppose. Although I don't know anything about baseball, I could still sense the wonderful atmosphere of excitement over the game in the air of Brooklyn. That's how he got $9,000 or whatever it was from me.
