Bringing Things Up to Date
A lot happened in the month of April so here's a quick attempt to bring everyone up to date.
On April 14, broadcaster Harry Kalas died at the age of 73. Ewing Oil thus earned 27 points and took the lead in the game 27-22 over S.V.D. One week later on April 21, S.V.D.'s Stephen Hawking was rushed to the hospital in serious condition. Ewing Oil, anticipating his death, took out an insurance policy at that time. S.V.D. immediately earned 16.5 points, or half of his value, and re-took the lead by a score of 38.5-27. On April 25, Bea Arthur, 86, died at her home in Los Angeles to make the score 41-38.5 in favor of Ewing Oil.
