...vanishing breed of peripatetic reporters. By his own estimate, he has logged 1,500,000 miles in not quite 40 years, celebrating things that few of his colleagues would bother to write about. "This is the only city in America where a dried grape ranks on a par with President Kennedy, the atom bomb, Nikita and the Cuban Reds," he wrote from Fresno a fortnight...
Barbara and Daniel are secret lonely heart pen pals who have corresponded for a year without either happening to give the other a clue to the fact that they are fellow clerks in the same Budapest par-fumerie. They are ecstatic about each other in print, and rather allergic to each other in person. When will the epistolary lovers discover the secret behind their secret?

An 18-hole standard course takes 125-175 acres, but 18-hole par-three takes only 40 because of its smaller tees and greens and shortened fairways. This also enables compact courses to be built much closer to cities; some 200 of them are equipped with mercury-vapor lamps and are thronged far into the night...
