...globetrotting number-one golfer Alex Vik, as he mashed a dimpled projectile towards the green of the Oslo Country Club on an August afternoon and ambled down the fairway. The astounded ball, smitten, soared far up the fairway curling towards the fat part of the green with just the daintiest trace of a fade...
People were on the field. Not me. I remembered the Dartmouth game a year before where a penalty on an extra point try had cost us the ball game. But that was a different team.

...richly stocked smörgasbord table spread each month by U. S. magazine publishers, the first and daintiest forkfuls of reprint rights generally go to the oldest and richest customer-famed, slightly fabulous Reader's Digest. The stout little Digest totes the biggest plate because it pays the biggest prices, has kept the good will of its hosts by refusing advertising. Sometimes it makes other magazines presents of free, full-length articles which it then digests and "reprints...
