Golf gave one of Dr. Horace Gray's (Chicago) middle-aged patients a pain in the back. Then another patient came in with the same sort of ache at the base of his spine. And shortly a third.

Of all the progeny of the Big Three, the most curious is Oliver Baldwin, a young man once thin and precious, now plump and still precious. A member of Oxford's most esoteric circles, he fought in the Armenian army, was imprisoned in Turkey...
