...West Coast annex to the Met. It even sandwiched in its season−mid-September to mid-October− ahead of New York's so that it could use Met singers.

New Jersey's Democrat Alfred D. Sieminski, a veteran of World War II and the Korean war, disagreed, crying that airmen "fight and die in aluminum planes. They can worship in aluminum if they...
...34th tee Hebert led by a single hole. Then Finsterwald cracked. By the time he had retrieved a shot from a ditch under a bridge, he was down two, with only two to play. Calmly Young-Timer Hebert matched his opponent's par three on the 35th hole and, winner 2 and 1, walked off with top prize money of $8,000. It was nearly three times as much as he had won all year...
