Died. Edward Ainsworth, 66, author and regional journalist for the Los Angeles Times, whose gentle, low-key columns provided an antidote to the image of Southern California as a giant nut-burger stand; of a heart attack; in San Diego. As "the Boswell of the Boondocks," Ainsworth ambled through small-town California in search of such interesting minutiae as "the gargantuan battle over the bougainvillea, the rose and the iris," all candidates for small (pop. 25,000) La Puente's official flower. The hibiscus, a dark horse...
Aided by such latent discontent, the students achieved maximum results with a minimum of effort. Several dozen pranced sporadically around and through the exhibition grounds. Others countered the tenors serenading tourists' gondolas by singing the Internationale or scuffled desultorily with police in the Piazza San Marco. The commissioner of the Swedish pavilion backed them up, explaining that the 1,000 police swarming about the grounds created "a spiritual climate in which we could not present works."

As a result, Makati's Ayala Avenue is sprouting a forest of office buildings that are taller and more modern than most commercial buildings in downtown Manila...
...Horizon Hills Country Club. His basic salary was indeed only $30 a week, but with his coaching fees, he says, "I was making more money than the guy who owned the club." He picked up another $600 in the 1966 U.S. Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, playing with an unmatched bag of clubs ("I must have had seven different brands"); last year, better outfitted, he placed fifth and won $6,000 at the Open in Springfield, N.J.
