Merlin Olsen, wearing number 74 for the Los Angeles Rams, lunges to tackle New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath, number 12, during a football game in the 1970s. Howard Cosell smiles in a black-and-white studio portrait, wearing a light-colored suit jacket, dress shirt, and paisley tie. John Lennon, wearing sunglasses and a suit with a striped tie, stands by an open car door at night, arriving at The Hit Factory recording studio in New York City.
