...swallowing a massive overdose of Nembutal, Stephen Ward-liar, drug user, pornographer, libertine and convicted pimp-was cremated in the London suburb of Mortlake. Though his solicitor had asked that no flowers be sent, there was a wreath of two hundred roses from, among others, Playwrights John Osborne and Arnold Wesker, Critic Kenneth Tynan, Novelists Angus Wilson and Alan Sillitoe, Jazzman Acker Bilk (who later withdrew his name). With the flowers came a note: "To Stephen Ward, victim of British hypocrisy." Explained Tynan: "British society created him, used him, and ruthlessly destroyed him. The Establishment has closed its ranks around...
...outlanders alike. Bearded men and crinolined ladies bounced through the streets in horse-drawn carriages; diamonds glistened like dewdrops of Saratoga Vichy at black-tie parties. Sousaphones harrumphed, fireworks whiz-banged, and chicken sizzled to a crunchy golden brown. Welterweight Champion Emile Griffith was signed for a nontitle fight; Arnold Palmer and Gary Player were booked for an exhibition golf match.

Three golfers quit midway through the second round because of heat exhaustion. Arnold Palmer shot a first-round 74, and moaned that he could not putt on the club's "awful" greens. Australia's Bruce Crampton complained bitterly about the noise of Palmer's gallery, "standing around chewing sandwiches." South Africa's tense Gary Player, the defending P.G.A. champion, never got within seven...
...Rest. Pocketing a $13,000 check that ran his season's earnings to $75,140-second only to Arnold Palmer's record $85,955-Nicklaus suggested that the tour's top golfers should knock off for two months each year to rest: "When you play twelve months, the game is no longer a pleasure; it's a nerve-racking grind." He then ambled off to set his sights on the next big payday: the $50,000 top prize in the World Series of Golf this September, a tournament that pits the winners of the Masters...
