Says beefy, 36-year-old Riviera Caddy Clyde Starr, who has often "packed" Hogan: "It takes him three hours to go nine holes in practice. He'll say, 'Here, drop 15 balls in this sand trap here.' Then he'll blast every one of them out. If he's not satisfied, he'll blast another 15. He'll even memorize the grain of the grass. He'll putt till hell won't have...

Finally, to improve the morale of minor sports athletes, squads having excellent but not perfect records should receive major letters (teams with perfect seasons get them automatically). These changes have long been needed...
Baby-Face & Sugar-Daddy. Lawrence took only a few more stabs at Bertie. "What's the good of living as you do?" he complained. "Why don't you drop overboard? . . . Do become a creature instead of a mechanical instrument . . . start at the very beginning and be a perfect baby . . . Oh, and I want to ask you, when you make your will, do leave me enough to live on . . . My love to you. Stop working and being an ego . . . Are you still cross...
