Although nobody would take Marilyn seriously when she said a couple of years ago that she wanted to play Grushenka,*M-G-M said last week, "The part is hers, if she doesn't want half the studio...

Lately he has been trying so hard to substitute control for power that his drives sometimes roll out to a mere 300 yards. A perfectionist with his irons, Mike is one of those rare types, a long-ball hitter who can also handle approaches and putts...
