...stroke in 1960, "I'm prepared to go around in a rowboat." That was not necessary-but the weather nearly cost Palmer the title. On the 510-yd. 16th hole in the second round, the blustery wind nudged the ball as he was about to swing, cost him a penalty stroke for hitting a moving ball. That left him a stroke behind diminutive, 5-ft. 5-in. Welshman Dai Rees and South African Harold Henning, with...

Kasavubu himself stalled off the U.N. officials who urged him to go ahead and formally declare the opening of Parliament, with or without the delegates.

Once a young woman showed him a sentimental painting of two children playing on a beach. "I'm not going to say a thing about this picture." he said icily. Then, exploding, he roared...
...Swing Man. The split is sharpest in cases involving Communists. The Black-Warren wing usually supports the constitutional rights of the individual, while the Frankfurter group upholds the will of the community, i.e., the laws passed by Congress in the interest of national security. Swinging between those two groups and casting the decisive vote -as he did on last week's 5-to-4 decisions curbing the Communists-is the newest Justice, Potter Stewart, 46. Says one of Washington's top trial lawyers: "You go up to argue before the court now, and you just talk to Stewart...
