...heat bothered 205-lb. "Baby Beef," he failed to show it. In the dry Dallas air, Nicklaus' drives almost soared out of sight; the day before the tournament started, he won a driving contest and set a P.G.A. record by booming a ball 341 yds. off the tee. He blasted boldly out of the dry, soft traps, handled the wiry Bermuda rough with ease. But in the end it was Nicklaus' putting that won for him. Trailing Australia's Crampton by three strokes with 18 holes to play, Nicklaus ran in an 18-ft. putt...

More than 180,000 ranchers, as well as 788 meatpacking companies and 17% of Argentina's labor force of 6,000,000, depend on cattle for their livelihood. Beef is the nation's second largest foreign exchange earner, after grain, and last year accounted for nearly a quarter of Argentina's $1.2 billion total exports.

While his hotels like to proclaim their appeal to gourmets, Hilton is indifferent to fancy food, preferring to dine on corned beef hash, tuna-fish casserole and tea served in plastic cups ("It's more sanitary."). Though his hotels pride themselves on the original works of art they hang in lobbies and guest rooms (the New York Hilton has 8,500 specially commissioned works), one of the least appreciative viewers is Conrad Hilton...
Lemass' bold program of industrialization has already created new jobs and wealth in an economy whose primary product, beef for Britain, has been the same for as long as there have been potatoes to go with it. As new opportunity at home lowers the perilously high emigration rate, the government is finally beginning to rebut the bitter quip that Ireland is "a home for men rather than a breeding ground for emigrants and bullocks." The country's rapturous huzzas for John Kennedy were more than an expression of pride in a Gael made good -to many young Irishmen...
