...sedentary clerk-has taken a historic step. Now that he has more money than ever, he has turned to the next need: security. In current contract negotiations throughout the U.S., the stress is on job security, early retirement and increased pensions. A contract signed last week between Armour and two meatpacking unions guarantees that workers displaced by machines will continue to earn their previous wages-even if their jobs are reduced to simple button pushing. A local union survey at Ford showed that among 15 critical issues workers ranked early retirement and better pensions first, higher wages 13th...
...Tommy Armour, Gene Sarazen, Alex Morrisson-almost every oldtimer still hale enough to handle a club or a typewriter gets into the act. Gary Middlecoff, the dentist from Memphis, continues to drill out advice, though he stands farther than Palmer from the actual practice of journalism. His ghostwriter, Reporter Thomas E. Michael of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, last consulted the dentist nine years ago. "I'm very much by myself," says Michael, who has since managed six Middlecoff bylines a week-for steadily dwindling readership. Most golf columns lose readers at about the same rate that their custodians lose...
...golfer's every move gets detailed attention. The simple act of getting set for a shot turns Tommy Armour into a veritable encyclopedia.

"As you address the ball be sure that your left elbow is straight and your right elbow is a bit bent and close to your body, a little bit forward of in line with your right knee." Sam Snead's approach is anatomical, right down to the X rays: "Imagine that your backbone is visible." Chances...
Wrinkle preparations are as old as vanity, and over the centuries have been concocted from wax, incense, ale, bread, synthetic hormones, turtle oils and placenta extracts. The latest lotions are made from, of all things, cows' blood. Developed by the research laboratories of meat-packing Armour & Co., the process uses proteins drawn from the blood to temporarily smooth and fill in furrows, much like a glossy, translucent mudpack. The lotions are invisible on the face, because they react to light the same way that human skin does...
...real problem is back home on the range, where too many people are raising too much cattle. Last year, as cattlemen held their cows off the market in hopes of higher prices, the U.S. herd expanded by 6% to 106 million head worth $13.5 billion. Swift, Armour and other packers are feeding much of their own cattle in direct competition with the independent cattlemen; so are such supermarket chains as Food Fair and National...
