...cold fog swirled over the River Spree, masking the watchtowers of Berlin's Wall and gathering in bright droplets on the bars of its newly installed steel gates. Suddenly, Communist searchlights poked white fingers into the fog, and the deep-throated barking of the Grenzpolizei's watchdogs echoed off the brick and barbed-wire barrier. A British military policeman scanned the Spree for escaping swimmers, but soon the searchlights flicked off, the dogs quieted, and the only sound was the rhythmic slam of Grepo boots on the cobblestones across the way.

Dusting was automatic, by a combination of compressed air and vacuum. Mass-produced, the house was planned to sell at about...
...should have been easy. The only hazards at suburban Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche were the exuberant French fans, the ubiquitous French photographers and a persistent French fog, which got so thick that play was cut to 63 holes and cars had to be parked around the greens with their headlights shining. On the very first hole, a 456-yd. par five, Nicklaus reached the green with a drive and a No. 8 iron, and sank his putt for an eagle. But after three days, the best that Jack and Arnie could manage was a first-place tie with...
