...trouble with the mustache is that it usually belongs to James Garner. He looks like a hat model with swollen glands. At least Jason Robards--his tubercular, alcoholic partner--is lean, but I suspect that's because he's been so busy prostituting himself in Hollywood extravaganzas. Robert Ryan, though un-mustached, is as big a blight to the scenery...
...socio-political philosopher-activist is traceable and proportionate to an unconcealed intellectual narcism. Buckley's a mental muscle-beacher who can't resist rippling his grey matter to dazzle bystanders.

Sighed his playing partner, Bob Goalby, who shot a 68 himself: "He made me feel like I didn't belong out there...
...rank as big-time executives. A director of 26 companies, Butcher controls the largest 'single block of stock in the Pennsylvania Railroad, plus enough shares in the New York Central so that he would still control one of the largest holdings when the two lines merge. As senior partner of Philadelphia's Butcher & Sherrerd, he supervises $500 million in investments for some 400 clients...
