...English did not know what to do with the Prince, they knew still less what to do with the Princess, whose high spirits, admired by Lord Byron, became hoydenish and pathetic with middle age. Prinney tried and failed to trump up enough scandal about Caroline to get a divorce. Caroline sailed off to Italy and behaved outrageously but always just within the law. When Prinney became King in 1820 he had her name struck from the Prayer Book. She returned to London to fight...

Amateur, U. S. Open, British Amateur, British Open. Last week, when America's Big Shots began marching through Georgia's pine-lined, Jones-designed National Golf Club course, there were four co-favorites in the field of 59: stoic Byron Nelson, U. S.

The quartet...
When play started, the Texans swept the field like a tornado. The first day, only four golfers broke 70. They were Jimmy Demaret, Byron Nelson and two other Texans, Oldtimer Harry Cooper and Newcomer Lloyd Mangrum, both of Dallas. The Augusta Masters has always produced at least one spectacular round. That day last week those Texans made all previous feats look humdrum.

It was the lowest nine-hole score ever recorded in a major...

Grounds: Tate never attempted to seduce the wife of a headhunter...
