Laughton makes him a polished old rogue, who cheerfully entertains his victims with superb and comically obvious hypocrisy...

Last week an expedition led by Dr. Per F. Scholander of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution landed at Boothbay Harbor, Maine after spending eleven weeks around Hebron Fjord trying to find out what keeps the fish from freezing.

Then, with a fine par 4 on the 32nd, Palmer went ahead. On the next hole he shot a birdie 3 to go two-up. Dog-tired, Sweeny came back to halve the next hole and win the 35th. But from the last tee Sweeny pushed his drive into the rough, chipped up to the green in three. Palmer ran his third shot three inches from...
