...tailored for last week's Open, Oakmonth's string-bean fairways had been tightened to only 30 yds. in width on some holes, and the enormous greens had been shaved until only one-eighth inch of grass remained. Par had been lowered from 72 to 71, so tough that only 19 sub-par rounds were shot during the entire tournament. The lead skipped around as though the golfers were playing hot potato: Gene Littler, the first-day leader with a sparkling 69, sank rapidly to a tie for seventh, and five players held the lead at one point...
...biggest-continue to operate, but with a Cuba socialista beat, and the leggy pony chorus now does Russian folk dances. The great restaurants have two choices on the menu -half-dollar-sized steak (at $6 a crack) and spaghetti; on the street, the hamburger stands serve watery bean soup...
...Horizontal Lieutenant (M-G-M). Funnyman Jim Hutton, 26, is an unpolished bean pole (6 ft. 3 in.) who gangles at all angles like the second-string center on a Y.M.C.A. basketball squad, but sputters sourprises like a bright, green Lemmon.

Buried away in this welter of polemics, a beautiful and well-modulated voice cries out for your attention. Stephen Sandy has written two new poems. The first, The Castor Bean Garden, is easily the most worthwhile item in this Mosaic, and also the most competent, well-pruned poem I have read in a Harvard publication. Sandy's intricate patterns of internal rhyme and his lush, but controlled alliteration give his poem just the the right form to complement his subject matter, which is the opposition of careful symmetry and undisciplined luxuriance. His second piece, Shoppers' World, struck me as slightly...
...Foods. Paulucci adhered to a two-point credo: "Cut out the middleman" and "Take advantage of waste." Shopping for bargains around the world, Chun King buys beef from Australia and shrimp from Ecuador, contracts directly with Chippewa Indians for wild rice and with Oklahoma and Texas farmers for mung beans, from which bean sprouts are grown. The simpler ingredients, such as celery and mushrooms, Chun King produces for itself-and here the profiting from waste enters. When Paulucci found out that the dirt in which the mushrooms grew was good for only one crop yet still contained rich compost...
