...that moment, Princeton's Keith Jennings wound up a 15-12, 15-5, 19-7 win ever reliable Johnny Thorndike in the number six match. It was the fourth win of the day for the Tigers and at number eight, John Francis was trailing Princeton's Cuffy Train, two games to one. On the front court, the number four match, with Harvard's erratic Bill Morris facing John Frazier, was just getting under...
Welch is shocked and in despair. He takes the floor. "Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Fred Fisher is a young man who went to Harvard Law School and came into my firm and is starting what looks to be a brilliant career with it... Little did I dream you could be so reckless and so cruel as to do an injury to that lad... I like to think I'm gentle man, but your forgiveness will have to come from someone other than me... Let us not assassinate this...
...name and the dates of his first and last days on earth. The bare cedars quake on wintry, windy Texas days, and the grass is brown and forlorn. Here and there a leaf flutters and a sudden swarm of starlings lights in a tree for a moment, only to take off like a cloud in the bleak sky.

Unavoidably Detained. Whimsical was the word for Palm Springs. Palmer got the TV job as a substitute for Jimmy Demaret, a 53-year-old grandfather who was unavoidably detained: at that moment, he was out on the golf course, seven under par. Demaret had not won a tournament in seven years; the closest he had come was second in the 1961 P.G.A. Seniors. Jimmy did not win at Palm Springs either-but he stubbornly clung to the lead until Tommy Jacobs beat him with a 9-in. putt in a sudden-death playoff. Jacobs is muscular, nervous and 28. Said...
