Fighting the Army. The 171 pros who qualified for the 44th P.G.A. took one look at Aronimink's broad fairways and manicured greens, helpfully dampened by heavy showers, and pronounced the course "honest"-which is pro talk for "a cinch." But they reckoned without two handicaps: the hot, humid weather, and "Arnie's army"-the huge, unruly gallery that stampeded noisily around the course chasing everybody's favorite golfer, Arnold Palmer. "You can't think, can't concentrate," complained one pro. "It's damned upsetting to stand over a putt and hear feet pounding...
...true belief, that must back promises with action." Later, at his press conference, President Kennedy repudiated Bailey's charge, saying: "I've never seen any evidence that Mr. Rockefeller is prejudiced in any way toward any racial group." Rockefeller definitely does not believe that Kennedy is a cinch to win in '64. He thinks that he could have beaten Kennedy in 1960 (Kennedy privately agreed after the election that Rocky might have won) -and that he can do it in 1964.

Brick by Brick. Powell, along with most others, figures that he is a cinch for re-election next November to a third gubernatorial term. But his figuring goes far beyond that. He plans to start barn storming nationally in 1963, then to enter New Hampshire's presidential primary, the first of the year, in March...
...tell them to rush it ... There will be NO slipups!"), does all the wrong things, and spends his spare time staring wide-eyed at the cops-and-robbers shows on TV. Since McCloskey has never caught anything more elusive than a cold, it's a cinch he can't catch Lyrae, who has been sent from a friendly planet to correct a defect in the moon rocket. Alas, such is interplanetary life, she falls in love with the hero, and with the help of feminine methods that seem to be universally practiced persuades him to turn the moon...
