Each has a different strong point to his game. Handsome, thin-lipped Arnold Palmer is one of the game's longest drivers. Brash, freckled Ken Venturi is without peer on long irons. Chubby, affable Bill Casper has the steadiest short game on the tour. There are weaknesses, too. Palmer is a streak player ("It seems I was always blowing up just when I thought my game was under control''). Both he and Venturi are subject to long sieges of putting miseries. Casper tends to scatter his long shots and has a predilection for one bad round...
...Iceberg. Brash young Review-men got E.M. Forster to explain why he stopped writing novels in 1924, James Thurber to discuss the difference between American and British humor, William Faulkner to talk about his technique, recorded equally penetrating chats with Francois Mauriac, Joyce Gary, Robert Penn Warren and other literary lights.

WNTA programs are plotted by brash Ted Cott, 41, a moonfaced, high-pressure promoter and former vice president of (in order) WNEW, NBC, and Dumont...
Neither background nor training suggests the single-minded operator who led the money-hungry major leagues westward to the California gold fields. Nothing betrays the brash architect of baseball's biggest revolution since a Brooklyn pitcher named "Candy" Cummings fired the first curve and separated the men from the bushers. A Bronx-born Giant fan who seldom bothered to go to a ballpark, Walter O'Malley went to work for the Dodgers as an attorney. "Why, I don't think he even knows what Duke Snider makes," snorts the Dodgers' Vice President and General Manager Emil...
