...naturalism of Barrie's golfscapes is relieved, now & then, by a whiff of romantic feeling. "I have allowed myself the privilege," he says in the catalogue foreword, "of interpreting each hole in the time of day, or season of the year, that seemed most appropriate. For instance the 5th hole at [Clementon, NJ.'s] Pine Valley was painted on a grey morning, after an all-night rain. Pine Valley is a rugged course, as all golfers know, and this is reached with a 218-yd. shot uphill. The green . . . is as formidable as a medieval castle...

...enemy answer to Douglas MacArthur's call for surrender was quickly spotted by a U.N. plane. Winging far up North Korea, a U.S. 5th Air Force fighter-bomber, on a night intruder mission, saw vehicles rolling down from the Manchurian border. They moved in widely spaced clusters, strung over 100 miles of road. Clearly, with supplies from the Chinese and Russian comrades over the border, the enemy was feverishly building up a defense 80 miles north of the 38th parallel...
