This week, in Chicago for the All-American Tournament at suburban Tarn O'Shanter Country Club, Sam Snead just scoffed at the "threats," declared: "I get calls from guys like that all the time." But as the tournament got under way, both Snead and Mangrum, playing under the watchful eyes of a convoy of cops and plainclothesmen, were clearly off their games. Mangrum wound up tied for sixth place; Snead was out of the running. The winner: former (1949) U.S. Open Champion Gary Middlecoff, with...
Said Scientist Julian, whose home in suburban Oak Park has twice been vandalized since he bought it a year ago: "It appears to me that organizations like the Union League Club are as directly responsible as any other agency for such un-American incidents as the bombing of my home and the Cicero riot.

The Pennsy's explanation was curt and businesslike: it is losing money on passenger traffic and thinks that...
...Pennsy's commuters have been the most vocal because they feel they have suffered the most. The sad and bloody history of the Long Island Rail Road, the Pennsy's bankrupt subsidiary, is not the only black mark. Clevelanders, who have had four suburban stops lopped off in the past year, fear that other stations will soon be wiped off the map. New Jerseyites have formed a "protective association" to get some action on such claimed commutation hazards as wooden trestles, high fares, and cars that let in snow and soot in the winter, heat and grime...
