Tommy Armour, Gene Sarazen, Alex Morrisson-almost every oldtimer still hale enough to handle a club or a typewriter gets into the act. Gary Middlecoff, the dentist from Memphis, continues to drill out advice, though he stands farther than Palmer from the actual practice of journalism. His ghostwriter, Reporter Thomas E. Michael of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, last consulted the dentist nine years ago. "I'm very much by myself," says Michael, who has since managed six Middlecoff bylines a week-for steadily dwindling readership. Most golf columns lose readers at about the same rate that their custodians lose...
...tells the time-tattered tale of a plain-as-rain chorus girl (Carol Burnett) who is mistakenly hired for a star part by the usual illiterate czar of the predictably nepotistic studio, F.F.F. Pictures. With Ella Cinders in her eyes and a mouth a dentist could not open wider, Carol Burnett makes an appealing clown-waif in the celluloid jungle.

They have had the place about seven months, and it is still substantially empty, but Barbra is filling it with her own brand of antiques, the pursuit of which is her only hobby. She has an old dentist's cabinet for her ribbons and lace, an apothecary jar filled with beauty marks, a Wedgwood slop bucket, slabs of stained glass ready for installation, an old captain's desk, Portuguese chairs, 50 used hats, and 80 ancient shoe buckles on as many ancient shoes, which she wears...
...many years ago that some of the lordlier firms had outside lawyers do their litigating for them, just as a dentist may send a patient to a dental surgeon to have a tooth pulled. But times have changed. Now many of the big firms can brag that along with all their other services they offer clients the skills of specialists in the belligerent arts of litigation. Since the troops first turned out to defend the electrical-equipment companies against price-fixing charges in 1960, the roster of counsel in this continuing flood of litigation has read like a roll call...
