...tragedy is that the West succeeded in creating another bogey man. When the Congolese Premier arrived in New York last summer to plead for United Nations aid, he impressed UN and State Department officials (including Secretary of State Herter) with his intelligence, sense of diplomacy, and awareness of danger on the left. But Mr. Lumumba offered only the friendship of an independent Congo, while the government seemed to demand the commitment of a dependent nation. Making a pathetic joke out of respect for "duly elected" government, the U.S. transformed the definition of "duly elected" into "pro-Western," by favoring...
Rosenberg excavates two late eighteenth century novels, Lewis' The Monk and Godwin's St. Leon, which portray the isolated Jew as black magician, and traces their lineage from Cartaphilus to DuMaurier's Svengali.

Ben Hogan was unable to earn a single birdie in the first 54 holes, did not survive the final cut. Palmer took a horrendous triple-bogey 8 on the 625-yd. 16th on the third day, finished with a six-over-par 286, retired to the sidelines as a TV commentator. Snead cashed out with bogeys on the last two holes. But for graceful Jay Hebert, the grueling Firestone course was tailor-made...
...Turning to his caddy, Palmer asked: "What should I use now?" The caddy suggested a five iron. The shot fell short, and Palmer found his ball nestled in a grassy dip on the front edge of the green. Muttering to himself, Palmer three-putted, fumed to a bogey on the 18th, wound up with a 70. "That 17th," he said angrily. "It's a bugaboo...
