Weight Watchers pay $3 for initiation and $2 weekly for dues. In return, they receive a fairly conventional list of recommended foods (high on proteins, low on carbohydrates, nothing fried), along with a stern admonition to eat only three reasonable meals a day and keep a careful watch on between-meal snacking. What makes Weight Watchers different from most other dieters is that they usually follow the prescribed regimen faithfully. The secret: frequent meetings, similar to the sessions of Alcoholics Anonymous, at which a lecture is followed by statements by each member on how much weight he has gained...
...tournament to be a true test of skill." That it is. The lowest score ever in the Open was the 276 shot by the magnificent "Wee Ice Mon," Ben Hogan, in 1948-14 strokes more than Gay Brewer took at Pensacola last week. Dey complains that the rash of low scores in P.G.A. tournaments "cheapens the concept of par." Both he and Jones insist that fans prefer to watch a golfer battle the hazards of a tough, demanding course-such as Georgia's 6,980-yd. Augusta National, site of this week's Masters tournament.

...shortened. For the Doral Open in Miami, the Doral Country Club's "Blue Monster" was cut from its nor mal length of 7,002 yds. to 6,652 yds., prompting Nicklaus to grouse: "We're playing from the ladies' tees." (They were.) The theory is that low scores attract fans. "People don't pay three and four and five bucks to watch us hacking out of the rough," says Ken Still, who finished fourth in the Pensacola Open...
...finished work is designed to revolve once every eight minutes and is powered by a hidden ¼-h.p. motor whose reduction shaft is embedded be low its 8-ft.-high triangular base. In mathematical terms, Infinity is based on the Möbius strip, named for the 19th century German mathematician A. F. Möbius. It consists of a loop twisted on itself so that it contains one continuous edge and one plane. As the great form revolved majestically for the first time last week, the early spring sun glinted off its evolving planes, creating an impression of perpetual...
