...course. If so, they will not see how the Masters is likely to be won. The tournament's toughest holes are far out on the course. That is the conclusion of Sam Snead, who has won the Masters three times (1949, '52, '54), and of Bill Inglish, tournament statistician. After studying the 1,292 individual rounds and more than 95,000 shots played at the Masters in the past five years, Inglish found that Augusta's six most difficult tests are not where they are supposed to be.

Claudelle Inglish (Warners) is a common Dixie doxy. She starts out poor but honest, the daughter (Diane McBain) of a tenant farmer (Arthur Kennedy) in the Deep (read shallow) South. Jilted by the boy she loves, the girl decides to get even. She paints her lips, she flips her hips. For miles around, the gay young devils (and some not so young) answer this summons from one of hell's belles. They bring her presents. She pays off.

Follick's first bill lost by just three votes. During the debate, a Tory M.P. wondered if Follick proposed to spell water u-o-o-r-t-e-r, pointed out that "some Cockneys say wa'er and Americans say watter, but how do the Scotsmen...
...Formers," proclaimed the Daily Express, "ar welcum to Docter Folics nu Inglish. WE PREFER IT AS IT IS." But the Evening Standard felt constrained to point out that "spelling reform is supported by many of the leading intelligence of the country." One of these, of course, was G. B. Shaw, who long ago had pointed out that under the present system the word "fish" might just as well be spelled GHOTI; GH as in enough, O as in women, TI as in nation. GH-O-TI = fish...
