...hours Ranković had resigned, and-while denying the eavesdropping charge-had admitted that he was "morally and politically" at fault. With Ranković went Secret Police Boss Svetislav Stefanović, 55, whose ubiquitous UDBA spy network had kept a tough, unrelenting grip on Yugoslavia since 1946. In one stroke, Tito had dismantled the entire upper echelon of his secret police-a move unparalleled in the Communist world since Khrushchev destroyed Soviet Top Cop Lavrenty Beria...
What was in Jack's favor was his enormous strength-to blast the ball into the wind and slash through the matted rough. In the first two rounds, he managed to wedge his way out of the weeds for nine birdies and a five-under-par 137, one stroke ahead of England's Peter Butler and three up on California's Phil Rodgers.

Both golfers parred the 18th, and for the 24th time in 72 years the U.S. Open went into a playoff...
