...hasten to add that some-well, many-of our staff are quite remote from this enthusiastic level. A number are in a category with Essay Reporter George Taber, a sometime exerciser whose weekend effort now consists of lifting the Sunday New York Times. Others are on a par with (but few as lucky as) the Bonn bureau's lean Burton Pines, who says, "Eating hard-frozen chocolate ice cream is all the exercise I get-and that's all I need."

And sure enough, the ball hit beyond the pin and rolled back, back-whoops, too far. When he got to the par-five 18th hole, Nicklaus was four strokes behind, so he audaciously decided to go for an eagle. His second shot landed on an impossible rock perch at the top of a sheer drop down to the ocean. A forehanded ABC crewman was in the right place with a hand-held camera...
