...daylight. Another idle crew waits 60 miles south, near Galbraith Lake, where $4,500,000 worth of unused Cat tractors, bulldozers, graders and pickup trucks stand in precise rows, as in a toyshop at Christmas. Hundreds of miles farther south, at the port of Valdez, workers are beginning to coat stacks of rusting pipeline-400 miles of it-to prevent corrosion. Three years after one of history's richest oil discoveries, production is as bogged down as a truck convoy in tundra. The cause of the delay is the Department of Interior's refusal to grant a pipeline...
...belies his devotion to the game. On his first day at the 1968 Masters, he played 36 practice holes, followed that with nine holes on a pitch-and-putt course and then, after a shower, ended at midnight on a par-three course, going another nine holes in sports coat and alligator shoes. Prior to last year's British Open, he spent eight full days hitting 600 to 700 practice shots a day learning how to hook the smaller English ball. "I play every day," he says.

Her managers, in her version of it, were merely exploiting her sex appeal-and ineptly. With puppylike trust, Ann-Margret did as she was told. At 25, after a descending spiral of bike operas and drive-in fillers, she was a has-been...
...established nudist club just outside San Bernardino, and made nudism a full-time way of life. "You can't beat it," says Hocker. "It's so - natural. It just seems right not to wear clothes. You can't upstage anybody around here with a mink coat or a good suit. Haha. And then there's the sun. Believe me, after a weekend out here in the nude, you can really kill 'em on your...
...training methods have been unconventional, to say the least. He began by running up the 14 flights of his apartment building. Often he would run up the stairs in reverse-a sight that soon had neighbors asking who was the backward freak in the knee-length white coat? "It seemed like I'd always pass women returning home with the groceries," he recalls. Borrowing a pair of track shoes, he started working out late at night at a nearby outdoor track. He practiced alone in the dark with no coach, no blocks and no starter's pistol...
