...Thanks for your review of my opera Miss Julie [Nov. 12]. Because I do not want to bite the hand that feeds me, I'd like to amend (or at least amplify) the phrase that "Utah is a boring state." No state, by definition, is in itself boring. As for The State of Boredom, to me it is synonymous with tranquillity (i.e., lack of distraction), which most artists will concur is the first requisite for getting anything done...
Kooyonga has fairways that are broad and flat, well-watered greens that allow approach shots to bite and hold, and a par of 73 over a respectable 6,578 yds. That doesn't make it all that easy; most of the 52 golfers in last week's tournament were pressed to stay close to regulation figures. Not Gary Player.

Cigar-Sized Jets.

He intended to add a refinery, but his deal to build one fell through. AGIP ran into increasing competition, began to lose money. ENI Boss Eugenio Cefis, who took over after Mattei died in an airplane crash three years ago, decided...
Congressmen offered the most pungent remarks. Sen. Dirksen said the demonstrations were "enough to make any person loyal to this country weep." Mississippi's Sen. Stennis urged the administration to "immediately move to jerk this movement up by the roots and grind it to bite." Sen. Kuchel said students who burned their draft cards were "sowing the seeds of treason...
