...almost everyone knows, iron is routinely added to "enriched" flour and bread because the element, needed to make hemoglobin, is stripped out in the grain-milling process. But disturbing news from Sweden suggests that too much iron may trigger a serious and often fatal hereditary illness. It is an iron storage disorder called hemochromatosis, and it causes its victims, mostly male, to absorb too much iron. Possible results: liver disease, diabetes, impotence, sterility, heart failure, even sudden death...
While Paxton may have the putting touch of a Swiss watchmaker, he can also powder the ball with the best of them. In the warmer climes of Paducah he regularly drives 280-290 yards.

Their basic field weapon was the cosh or blackjack. For other occasions the arsenal included ax handles, umbrellas reinforced with iron rods, and a gadget that would spray a blinding cloud of flour and pepper from compressed air cylinders...

His two-iron sucked up to the flagstick on 15, and he got home in two on the 16th, smashing a three-wood onto the elevated, redan green which typifies this course. Paxton then slipped to double-bogeys on the next two holes, spraying teeshots into the woods on 17 and the 583-yard 18th...
