...when they quarreled boyishly (TIME, June 29). Loving to be unique, Reno was pleased last week when there arrived in town Dr. Thomas Kiley Gorman, 38, first Roman Catholic Bishop of the new diocese of Reno, Nevada (TIME, Aug. 3). For Bishop Gorman is no run-of-the-mill prelate such as another State might get: he is a golfer, joke-teller, smoker of big black cigars, and the youngest Catholic Bishop...
...reached the age of 28 without getting one of his stories published. Born in Santa Fe, N. Mex., in the room in the Governor's Palace where the late Author Lew Wallace is supposed to have worked on Ben Hur, he toiled in coal mines, a cement mill, a silver mine, on a trade magazine; but kept his literary ambitions.

I go everywhere, I admire all kinds of country. I tried to live in France. But when I strike the open plains, something happens. I'm home. I breathe differently. That love of great spaces, of rolling...
...other was William Burkowski who started to call himself Billy Burke when he gave up being a puddler in a steel mill and became golf professional at the fashionable Round Hill Club in Greenwich, Conn. A ponderous, muscular fellow, he smokes large black cigars when golfing, observes few of the niceties usually appreciated by onetime caddies whose golfing proficiency has enabled them to know nice people. Before the Open started, theorists spoke well of Burke's chances. The week before, in the Ryder Cup matches, he had kept his wooden shots straight, a trick that would be valuable...
