There were other tensions too. Charlene was in poor health recently. A few years ago, she suffered a painful leg injury while skiing in Vermont. At first she attended parties while swinging gaily between crutches. But the leg kept giving her trouble. Last year it buckled beneath her while she was standing on a stool changing a light bulb.

With a slender one-stroke edge to protect on the last day, Nicklaus played so slowly that he reminded fellow pros of "a turtle in leg irons." One after another, they took their shots at the big blond who had just turned 23.

But the shark fishermen pay a price for their enterprise: scrabbling over the beach to tend the drying fins, each shows the stump of a leg, a maimed hand, the nub of an elbow...
