Boston pays teachers on a par with its richer suburbs, but working conditions are antiquated. Teachers must still munch lunch at their desks while policing the kids. Young teachers avoid Boston, and the average age of teachers is close to 50. Apathy, fed by authoritarian administrators, wreathes the system like a cloud of poison...
...marine who attacked St. Annes as if he were storming Iwo. Palmer played himself out of contention with a first-round 76, but after 36 holes, Charles trailed Rodgers by five strokes, Nicklaus by two. In the third round, Charles shot a record 66 -four under par, followed it up with a 71 that left him deadlocked with Rodgers at 277, one stroke ahead of Runner-up Nicklaus...

Back next day, he birdied three of the first six holes, shot a four-under-par 67, and won easily.

All told, in three short weeks Arnold Palmer had earned a cool $54,000 in official purses...

And so the Open went into a three-way playoff...
...drive deep into The Country Club's barbed-wire rough. Cupit hung on a bit longer, but the tension caught up with him on the third hole, where he took a double-bogey six. Boros, playing safe, sure "money golf," turned the front nine in 33-two under par. By the time the three players finally got within TV camera range on the 15th hole, he was three strokes ahead of Cupit, seven ahead of Palmer. The final scores: Boros 70, Cupit 73, Palmer...
