...week's $250,000 Westchester Golf Classic in Harrison, N.Y. - second-richest tournament in pro-golf history.* And that was fine with Jack, because it gave him a chance to catch up on his sleep - which had not been too peaceful lately. For weeks Nicklaus had been "duck hooking" his tee shots, curving them wildly, and he had yet to figure out why. In Westchester, Jack got his answer in a dream. There he was, standing on the tee. "As I turned my shoulder, taking the driver back, I also turned my head." Presto! Next day on the practice...

...Hook. The sponsors of the state's pro-Daylight Saving drive were aware of an odd hook sometimes found in referendum laws. By petitioning for a referendum on a newly enacted law, a mere 5% of Michigan's voters can nullify that law until the next general election, which in this case will be in 1968. Only 274 more people than the required minimum-123,096 out of the nearly 2,500,000 who voted in the last statewide election-signed petitions, thereby suspending the anti-Daylight Saving law. Thus, for at least two summers, the fraction...
