...Princess (Diana van der Vlis) makes a spectacular entrance riding a Honda montorbike in a sliver lame pants-suit with a blue choker and helmet. Rosaline (Denise Huot), in a navy blue suit and white boots, also arrives on a Honda (which, at the opening performance, nearly sailed over the footlights and into the audience), while the other two ladies, Maria (Kathleen Dabney) and Katherine (Marian Hailey), appear on foot. The Princess' courtier Boyet (Thomas Ruisinger), in a blue jacket with yellow handkerchief, white ducks, bow tie, and black-and-white shoes, is a U.S. Southerner with a duly droll...

...wound up tied with Palmer, then blew a big lead in the next day's 18-hole playoff, Player had not slept a wink. "I kept remembering that Masters playoff, and I began to worry," he said. "I don't want to be known as a choker." For 18 holes, he played a grim, conservative game, got only two birdies, only two bogeys, for a par 70. Par was just good enough to finish one stroke ahead of Bob Goalby, runner-up in the 1961 U.S. Open, two ahead of burly Jack Nicklaus...
