...Complaint. Needing a birdie four to tie Palmer on the 18th and final hole. Player seemed to have it made. His putt was an easy four-footer. But his playing partner, Don January, had left a putt teetering precariously on the lip of the cup, and January said that he could see the ball moving. So he waited-for seven interminable minutes. Player was so unnerved that he blew his own 4-ft. putt, the match and a crack at the $5,300. "That putt wasn't going to drop-ever." he groused. "January had no right to wait...
...Gaulle knows full well that in the end the U.S. has no choice but to defend France against Soviet attack. That axiomatic umbrella of protection gives De Gaulle vast flexibility for action-and for troublemaking. The U.S. would also have to cease treating De Gaulle as a junior partner in the alliance.

After the 1929 crash and a brief career as a partner in an investment firm, young Taylor took over management of the struggling Brading Breweries, the last of his grandfather's besieged holdings. He quickly saw that small breweries would never survive, began quaffing down rivals with mergers and acquisitions that eventually produced Canadian Breweries...
Millionaires' Roost. Taylor seldom appears at Argus' mausoleumlike Toronto offices, much preferring to work out of the comfortable gatehouse of his 600-acre suburban Toronto estate. A rider and horse lover since college, he operates Canada's most successful racing stable on his own (says Partner Phillips: "I detest horses"), has put Canada's horse racing on its feet by reorganizing it into a few big, profitable tracks. As a private investment, he is developing Lyford Cay in Nassau into a restful roost for such multi millionaires as Henry Ford II and CBS Chairman William Paley...
