Bobby Jones once observed that nobody really wins a major golf tournament; someone always loses it. Indeed the salient feature of last week's British Open was not so much Lee Trevino's narrow victory, but Jack Nicklaus' slender loss. Nicklaus had already won the Masters at Augusta, Ga., and the U.S. Open and had set his sights on this tournament and the upcoming P.G.A. in a bid for an unprecedented grand slam of professional golf...
This year, though, Summerthing has come in for some criticism. Nathan Cobb of the Globe wrote a six-piece article on Summerthing that hinted darkly at an over-extension of government control of the arts. Cobb's series made one or two salient points, most notably that the Sunset Series has effectively stifled private competition. Since all privately promoted concerts must be licensed through city hall, the city retains some control over who plays, where they play, and when...
...visit to Sehjra, a key town in a Pakistani salient that pokes into Indian territory east of Lahore where Indian troops have been advancing, Clark found turbaned men working in the fields while jets flew overhead and artillery sounded in the distance.

...forces, which oppose West Pakistan's rule over the East) had captured portions of five areas, totaling perhaps 60 sq. mi. of real estate. All along the border, artillery exchanges and firefights kept the situation tense and dangerous through the week. Scene of the biggest battle was a slender salient of India that points sharply into East Pakistan some 20 miles west of the Pakistani city of Jessore, an important railhead that leads to key ports on the Bay of Bengal. Early last week, according to a Pakistani general, one battalion of Indian regulars operating alongside a battalion of Mukti...
These bizarre statistics are contained in a once secret staff report released last week by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after five weeks of haggling with the Administration over declassifying its salient points. The figures become even more bizarre when the cost of air operations-one of the figures still classified, but reliably estimated at $1.4 billion-is included, bringing per capita expenditure up to an incredible $900. The report was compiled after a visit to Laos last spring by Richard Moose and James Lowenstein, both former Foreign Service officers, who are the committee's staff experts on Southeast...
