...their well-stocked larder. Cracked Hogan, coldly: "Next time I guess we'll have to leave our clubs at home and just have a meat show." The little Texan, not recovered from his near-fatal auto accident, was playing no tournament golf, but he was still a bad man to cross. Good-neighborliness dwindled to zero last week when Hogan demanded a look at the British team's irons before the matches-and pointed out that some of them were illegally grooved. An all-night argument over one set of British clubs was settled only five minutes before...
Soulima, 39 ("born between Firebird and Petrouchka"), lives with his wife Franchise and son Jean, 4, only a few bars and beats away from Igor in Hollywood. But he has not yet found much time to visit with the man he usually refers to as "my father," but sometimes as "Stravinsky." He has been too busy "living with Scarlatti" (he will record some sonatas for Allegro records this week) and preparing for his first U.S. piano concert tour.

He will probably continue to be until the day he is foolhardy enough to fight a good man his own size-somebody like Sugar Ray Robinson...
...cylinders can store 4,000 numbers of 16 digits each and 4,000 coded "commands." In response to the proper command (either remembered or coming from outside), the numbers are "read off" electrically. They zip through the machine as coded electrical pulses. Basically the process is similar to a man's pulling a telephone number out of his memory and spinning it on a dial...
