The 82 aspirants from 20 states and six foreign countries all boasted impressive golfing credentials: Oklahoma's Bob Dickson was the winner of both the U.S. and British Amateurs last year; Colorado's Hale Irwin Jr. was the N.C.A.A. champion; Britain's Clive Clark was a former member of his nation's Walker Cup team.

They saw little hope that he could survive. But since Haupt had apparently been fit, his heart was probably in good condition...
Violence had begun at the Reflecting Pool. Two young men in wind-breaker jackets relieved the boredom by rushing British Labor leader Clive Jenkins, who was speaking, and smashing him and the rostrum and all the microphones down to the ground. No one was hurt, and the two men, later identified as members of the American Nazi Party (Arlington, Va.), were wrestled away by marshals as the Nazis yelled, "Commies, commies, Vietcong commies," into a microphone obligingly held by a radio station technician...
