HARVEY L. SOBEL Mexico City...
Downstate's Dr. Martin Kaplitt, 26, and Dr. Sol Sobel, 40, offered an operation that was both simpler and quicker than standard techniques. Along with Kings County Hospital's Dr. Philip Sawyer, they clamped off the diseased section at either end, then injected carbon dioxide between the outer and inner layers of the artery. With the two layers thus separated, it was relatively easy to make a small incision and snip off the ends of the diseased inner layers, then pull them out. After the incisions were sutured and the clamps removed, the blood immediately began flowing through...
Tails & Patent Leathers. Sobel's own introduction to golf came at the age of 22, after he had already made something of a name for himself as a ragtime pianist in Europe. Early one morning, after a show at Ciro's in Paris, Ross and some friends set out by car for a tour of the French countryside.

Within four years he was good enough to attract the attention...
Back in the U.S. in 1920, Sobel took a brief fling at the pro tournament circuit ("I couldn't make a dime"), settled into a succession of club jobs-at Long Island's Valley Stream Country Club, at the Westchester Embassy Club, at Grossinger's in the Catskill Mountains.

In 1953, as head pro at Miami's West View Country Club, Ross taught Cleveland Indians Third Baseman Al Rosen the fundamentals of golf. That summer Rosen clouted...
Floating Golf Game. Semi-retired now, Sobel's latest venture is a kind of floating golf game-a driving range on the deck of Eastern Steamship Lines' S.S. Ariadne, a cruise ship that tours the Bahamas and the Caribbean. Last week, feet spread to counteract the roll of the ship, he watched sadly as middle-aged duffers hooked and sliced into a net-and-canvas trap. "I've never seen so many different ways of hitting a golf ball," he sighed. "Nobody seems to do it right any more. Why, just the other...
