...Taliesin Fellowship worked out in a 12-ft. model when they all went to Arizona three winters ago. Broadacre City is Wright's answer to urbanization. He believes some-thing like it is already happening in the movement of people out of cities through suburbs to the open country. Its fulfillment would complete this process, giving every citizen his modicum acre of land in communities spread out along the transportation routes. Frank Lloyd Wright's city, he has said, would be "everywhere and nowhere...
...guarantee of being a dollar richer when they return. Every year some 300 trouping golfers jaunt from town to town, from coast-to-coast, making three-day stands in a carefully planned route known as the "grapefruit circuit" (see map). Starting at sporty Pinehurst with the Mid-South Open in November [No. 1 on the map], they move down the coast one jump ahead of the thermometer, spend the month of December shuttling around Greater Miami and Nassau [tournaments this year: $10,000 Miami-Biltmore Open (No. 2), $3,500 Nassau Open (No. j), $3,000 Miami Open...
...ever started off this year. For fresh in the minds of many was the fabulous feat of Ralph Guldahl, who, debt-laden and jobless, started out on the grapefruit circuit last winter with borrowed clubs and a wheezing jalopy, won $3,500, went on to win the U.

S. champion...
...last week the winter troupers had reached Los Angeles for the high spot of the season-the $5,000 Los Angeles Open, sponsored by the local Times. Warming up for the opening round, on the sunny municipal links at Griffith Park, the top-notch golfers of the U. S., as well as the obscure hopefuls, experienced more than their usual pre-tournament "yips" (Jitters). For this was the No. i tournament of the West Coast and, although it was almost midway in the winter circuit, it was the beginning of a new year and a new race for money-winning...
...Jackson Snead captured the favor of golf galleries by his tremendous power and precise timing, his natural swing, his titanic stretch finishes. He began to draw galleries reminiscent of the Hagen, Jones and Sarazen eras. By the time the No. i U. S. tournament of the year, the National Open, came around in June, Sam Snead was favored to win-an unheard of predicament for a first-year man. And more unheard of was the fact that a first-year man lived up to his reputation in his first national championship tournament. Although Sam Snead did not win the tournament...
