While CBS was moving from the ballpark to meet rival NBC at the bookshelf, NBC itself was getting more involved with sports. Last week NBC President Julian Goodman in Manhattan and Golfer Arnold Palmer in Miami (he was there for the $100,000 Doral Open) let it be known that the network would buy five of Arnie's eight companies, including the multifarious Arnold Palmer Enterprises, Inc., of which he now owns 60%. NBC will also sign on President Palmer himself as an NBC sportscaster...
Last week Publicity Man Jerry Do-bin, of the two-year-old $12 million Doral Beach Hotel, spelled it out explicitly for a visitor: "Miami Beach was built for big-city people.

...room in any hotel on any island-meet with derisive laughter. "This is truly a bounty year for us," glowed the head of the Caribbean Tourist Association in New York. "In all my 32 years in Miami Beach, I've never seen such pressure for reservations," crowed Doral Hotel Director Jean S. Suits. "Saturday night there were guests sleeping in my office. They were even in the cabanas and the solarium...
