...long tour Nixon rarely allowed himself to lose sight of his diplomatic job. And-as correspondents began to discover toward the end of the tour-the job was far more than handshakes and baby-patting. On his seven-nation (Morocco, Ghana, Liberia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Libya) African go-round, he held down-to-earth closed-door conferences with African leaders, learned how to juggle tactfully the usual requests for foreign aid, came away each time satisfied that he had done something to explain the goals and hopes...

With 51 in the cast, an orchestra of 33, and 80 technicians and stagehands, you can see the importance of being disciplined. Know your position before the final confusion...
Plumber & Prophet. The six-time Titleholders champ (1937, '38. '39, '48, '53, '55) worked hard to prove herself a prophet. She had started out "putting like a plumber," but on the second round she bore down, scored a fine 71 (one under men's par, four under women's par), hit the halfway mark tied for second with Wiffi Smith, 20, a broad-based, freckle-nosed newcomer to the pro ranks from St. Clair, Mich. Just one stroke in front, San Diego's Mickey Wright, 22, had a 36-hole total...
