Virtually all of its 400 white mission aries have been evacuated, and the sprawling Unilever palm oil complex at Leverville - Kwilu's biggest industry - has been idled, putting 18,000 natives out of work...
...said the TV announcer, and -sure enough-the man with the California tan and the strychnic smile was Arnold Palmer, 34, the No. 1 money-winner in golf. In nine seasons on the pro tour, Palmer had pocketed $473,008. But there it was, the final round of the Palm Springs Golf Classic, with $50,000 up for grabs, and Arnie had finished early, shooting three over par with the rest of the also-rans.

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...
...much the same cool role some 200 times thereafter, winning brickbats from the critics (except in Shane) but such dogged admiration from the fans that, as he once said, "every time Paramount wants to meet the payroll, they start an Alan Ladd picture"; found dead in bed; at his Palm Springs, Calif., home...
