Flood Threat. Another theme of mutual interest was grandfatherhood, a status Kosygin had enjoyed for 18 years and Johnson for two days. Kosygin welcomed the President to the club, passed along a gold baby cup for Patrick Lyndon Nugent.* Grandchildren?and the world they will live in?became a frequent touchstone. At one point, Johnson told the Russian: "You don't want my grandson fighting you, and I don't want you shooting...
...ball sliced into the rough; Nicklaus pitched out-and reached for the No. 1 again. This time he belted it a full 240 yds., onto the green, 22 ft. from the pin. Jack carefully surveyed the putt and stroked it straight into the center of the cup for $30,000 and his second U.S. Open victory-breaking Ben Hogan's 19-year-old Open record by one stroke. Bobby Jones probably put it best when he remarked after the Masters two years ago: "Those other fellows play superb golf. Nicklaus plays a game with which I am not familiar...
Deadly Vassar Girls. Kingman spent his summers sailing off Martha's Vineyard, became so skilled that in 1935 and 1937 he scored clean sweeps to win the Prince of Wales Cup in "Acadia"-class international competition in Nova Scotia.

And they could hardly fail to applaud the performance put on by Mosbacher and his well-drilled crew during the third race against Constellation. Thirty-five times Connie tacked; 33 times Mosbacher covered; when he finally broke off, Intrepid had a lead...
...concede the defender's job to Intrepid. "It's who is best in August that counts," said Eagle's skipper, George Hinman, "that's when we want to be best." Still to be heard from is another challenger: Columbia, the 1958 America's Cup winner, now owned by Californian Pat Dougan and remodeled at a cost of $125,000 last year. According to Olin Stephens, who drew the plans, she is 75% new: a "skeg," or fin, has been added to her bottom to make her stiffer in the water, her stern has been shortened...
