...P.G.A. has good reason to ignore this aspect of Sifford's victory. Golf, owing in large part to the hidebound P.G.A., was for years one of the most segregated major sports in the U.S. The P.G.A. waited until 1961, a full ten years after most other pro sports were fully integrated, before it removed the Caucasian-only clause from its membership requirements. Even now, the majority of blacks seen on the pro circuit are still the caddies. Of the 300 pros on last year's tour, only six were Negro. This season there are eleven, and though such...

As in steel and some other basic industries, the moderately sized companies have proved to be nimbler and more imaginative than some of the hidebound old giants. Medium-sized outfits like Iowa Beef Packers, Inc.-which was listed by FORTUNE among the top ten companies for return on invested capital in 1967-have built their slaughterhouses and packing facilities close to livestock farms.

Most of this year's programming, at such places as Tanglewood, Saratoga and Ravinia, bears out the thesis: safe, familiar fare for the listener who prefers to leave his brains at home. It took the usually hidebound Metropolitan Opera to break the mold and demonstrate that a festival can also include the thinking man as well...
Many of the most reputable physicians have given up. Before the ban, the Cleveland Clinic's Dr. Arthur L. Scherbel was getting significant and hopeful responses in scleroderma, or "hidebound disease," a disorder of collagen throughout the body that makes it difficult for the victim to clench his hands, and in many cases causes hideously painful fingertip ulcers. Dr. Scherbel has not used DMSO since the ban, except for patients who still have a supply. "We have tentative permission to use DMSO," he says, "but how do you get a drug company to release it?"
