...Supreme Court of California [Jan. 21]. I have not always agreed with all of the decisions of the court, but I have always admired the aggressive manner in which it has constantly striven to keep our law in tune with modern life. It is a source of deep pride to me that I have been privileged to appoint six of the seven members of the court...
...Pride of Cam Ranh Bay is the new DeLong pier. Three hundred feet by 90 ft., it was towed from South Carolina, arrived Oct. 30, and was in use 45 days later.

He has size without tragic stature, brute strength and magnetism without "a constant, loving, noble nature." His ultimate downfall shrinks almost to the level of a squalid domestic intrigue...
...first time in al most a year. It was a sort of hollow victory, because neither Jack Nicklaus nor Gary Player was entered in the tournament. But it did wonders for Arnie's pride, and it was worth $11,000 -which automatically (since it was the year's first tournament) put Palmer back into his once-familiar position atop pro golfs money-winning list...
