...principal and almost only opponent was the Merion course. "A man can get along all right [at Merion] if the white faces don't get him," said Chick Evans, onetime titleholder. He meant the big bunkers, filled with chalk-white sand that makes them stand out pale and threatening beside the smooth greens, across the well-watered fairways. Not a particularly long course, with only two holes where a tournament player needs wood for his second shot, Merion is notable for its formidable par fours, its exacting threes, and for an old quarry that sprawls like an ungainly footprint...
...supposed father are continually running foul of each other. Eirick comes home from his wild-oats sowing, has a change of heart, wants to become a monk. Olav thinks that might be a good idea. But in a year Eirick is back again; he was not meant for monkhood. As Olav grows older and more dour, as his sister's marriage ripens into tragedy and the burdens of the family increase, Eirick shoulders them all, quits himself like a man. Once in a fit of rage he almost falls from grace, is about to murder Olav. But his sister intervenes...

The explosions meant that Dictator Irigoyen's minister had finally screwed up their courage to the point of telling him unanimously that he must do something to appease popular wrath. What he had done was to hand over the executive power to Vice President Enrique V. Martinez, trusty henchman. Under the Argentine Constitution a president can do this whenever he feels like it, can also resume his full original powers by a stroke...
...young lieutenant of the Royal Scots Greys named Humphrey Guinness had done well as a substitute in 1927. There was nothing for it now but to put him in at back, move the veteran Lewis Lacey to No. 2-a position he had never played before when a match meant anything-leave Capt. C. T. I. Roark at No. 3 and let Gerald Balding try No. i. The situation was not as bad as it sounded because Lacey is brilliant at any position and Guinness had been playing splendidly. Also, the Englishmen were saying that this time they knew they...
