Indignities like that are getting to be par for Palmer's course. It all started last year, when Arnie won the Masters, and visions of a grand slam were dancing before his eyes. So off he went to the U.S. Open at Oakmont, Pa., a course he had played at least 200 times before-and what happened? Nicklaus beat him. Jack did it again in the World Series of Golf, that time for $50,000, the biggest prize in the game. But last week's blow was the hardest of all. Every duffer knows that the Masters...
Tough & Mean. "Gary Player says he's going to win," said Nicklaus on the eve of the Masters. "Arnie Palmer says he's going to win. I say I am." A scrambling opening-round 74, two over par, failed to shake his confidence. "How are you feeling?" asked a friend. "Big and strong?'' "Yeah." growled Nicklaus. "Big and strong-and tough and mean."

Its own Common Market includes Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua, which have knocked out 95% of the restrictive tariffs that existed between them. It has set up an effective regional bank and has made some 54,000 agricultural loans...
With Bidault on ice, De Gaulle turned his attention to the continuing, crippling strike of 188,000 miners in the nationalized coal fields of northern France, who were demanding wage scales on a par with workers in private industry. Rumors circulated that S.A.O. members, disguised as cops, would attack the strikers to provoke them to violence against the government, but the only toll of the strike so far was economic. Thousands of steel and natural gas workers went out on a sympathy strike, and a 24-hour rail walkout cre.ated a transportation tie-up all over France. Into Paris drove...
...penalty, and Palmer wound up with a 15-under-par 273 to win the $5,300 first-prize money, beating Gary Player, who was having his own disconcerting experience with the rules...
