Probably Five. At a luncheon later in the U.S. Embassy residence with reporters and businessmen, Nixon forgot the problems of Latin America long enough to offer an unstartling prediction about 1968: "There will probably be five candidates: Romney, Rockefeller, Percy, Reagan and myself. Two will probably fall by the wayside in the primaries." But, he also observed diplomatically, "regardless of who wins the election, there will only be one winner: Latin America." That said, Dick Nixon packed his bags once more and headed for Brazil and Mexico...
Brewer has finished second 14 times in his career. He did earn $75,000 last year, but the only tournament he won was the Pensacola Open - when Doug Sanders, who was leading by four strokes, forgot to sign his score card, and was disqualified. Last year, Brewer set some sort of record for frustration in the space of one week. He three-putted the 72nd hole in the Masters to blow a one-stroke lead, then lost the play-off to Jack Nicklaus; he frittered away a five-stroke lead in the last 18 holes of Las Vegas' Tournament...
...might have done even better if he hadn't spread himself so thin. Besides the shotput, Matson was asked to compete in the discus throw, an event he does not much like.

So professorially engrossed is he in his work that when Boss Henry Ford II tapped him for his new job, Frey forgot to ask whether it meant a pay raise. So far, it hasn...
Sometimes she plunges into little things. One day not long ago, quite unwittingly, she scheduled six separate appointments for 2 p.m., broke all of them, scheduled three others?and then forgot she had any at all. "It is necessary," sighs her secretary, "to keep one's appointment calendar in pencil." Sometimes she plunges into big things. For a while, the big thing was pacifism. In 1961, she plunged militantly into Britain's ban-the-bomb movement, was arrested four times during demonstrations, stood up before a rally in Castro-style battle dress and sang a Cuban revolutionary song. Sometimes Vanessa...
