...Seven strokes down when he started the final round, California's rotund Bob Rosburg, 34, played his steady game while the front runners collapsed, one by one, then sank a 14-ft. putt for a birdie on the final green to capture first-place money of $5,300 in the $50,000 Bing Crosby tournament at Pebble Beach. Calif...
Ohio's rotund Democratic Governor Mike Di Salle was hauled aboard the Kennedy bandwagon only at political gun point (TIME, Jan. 18), but once there, he appointed himself the architect of the Kennedy campaign in his state, freely predicted a massive Kennedy sweep. As it turned out, the only Ohio county to perform satisfactorily for Kennedy was industrial Cuyahoga (Cleveland), which is bossed by canny Ray Miller, one of the old-line Democratic county chairmen whose power Di Salle has long been trying to undercut.

...Moscow's Vnukovo airport, the well-padded commissars of the Kremlin whizzed back and forth last week like commuting suburbanites.

His predictable answer: Henry J. Kaiser...
...Moscow Central Committee late in 1958, the local zealots in Stavropol apparently kept calling him an enemy of the state. According to a story passed by the Moscow censors, Bulganin appealed to Khrushchev, who suggested that Bulganin retire on a pension. At 64, a pale shadow of the jovial, rotund figure who represented his country at the 1955 Geneva summit meetings, Bulganin now lives on a $300-a-month pension on the outskirts of Moscow, of which in his time he was mayor, an ailing and disgraced man who had once been wartime boss of Soviet industry, and Premier, until...
