...finished among the top ten in 24. Last week, in the Las Vegas Tournament of Champions. Jack Nicklaus-doggone him anyway-got richer still. Ah, but the way he did it. On opening day at the 7,073-yd. Desert Inn Country Club course, his second tee shot strayed from the fairway and conked a spectator on the head. That rattled the spectator. Not Jack. He paused briefly to comfort the injured bystander, drilled an iron to the green and neatly two-putted for a birdie four. He then birdied five of the next twelve holes, bogeyed only once...
...vacation house bordered a fair way of Kuala Lumpur's rambling Selangor Golf Club, where the Tunku shot his daily round. From tee to green, Lee tried to convince Abdul Rahman that Singapore's rickety coalition could never survive another election, and that a Red Singapore could only spell trouble for Malaya. Gradually, the Tunku came to the frightening conclusion that Singapore might well become "a Chinese Cuba...
...dedicated Sunday golfer is a testament to hope. He falls over backward on the tee because Gary Player does. He cuts his ball nearly in half, trying to make it back up on the green just like Arnold Palmer. He crouches like Jack Nicklaus and peers curiously into the cup-looking for goodness knows what.

His tee shots caromed 300 yds. and more down Rancho's rock-hard fairways, his approach shots died quietly inches from the pin, and his putts banged boldly into the cup. At first, other pros hogged the headlines: smooth-swinging Gene Littler led briefly; aging (52 ) Dutch Harrison flashed enough of his old form to take the second-round lead; and Art Wall, the 1959 Masters winner, shot a third-round 67, four strokes under par. But the gallery paid little attention. By the time Palmer teed...
Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's minority Conservative Government survived all threats to its existence last week. In the traditional Throne Speech debate, which allows the Opposition to tee off on every subject under the sun. the three opposition parties, who together have a majority of the Commons' 265 seats, denounced the Diefenbaker government's management of everything from A (for austerity) to U (for unemployment). But in two crucial votes of confidence, the right-wing Social Credit Party, like the Tories, in no mood for an early election, sided with the government to keep it in power...
