Summary

This week, Lucy comes to you from the 1964 World's Fair in New York City. Lucy begins with a few anecdotes about the trials of mobilizing and operating an entire production company out of a high-rise hotel suite, while reminiscing about her early days in the city in her dark, dank ground floor apartment. Lucy then hits the streets of the 1964 World’s Fair. She recounts being honored in various ceremonies and parades before romping across the many national pavilions to take in the exotic flavors and feelings of international unity.
