There, on the sixth tee, he waited: a towheaded, barefoot boy with a cowboy pistol dangling at his hip and a sawed-off ladies' driver in his hands. Everyone around the Latrobe, Pa. Country Club knew Arnie Palmer, the club pro's five-year-old son. Coming up to drive, the women players would chuckle at the kid, then look with dismay toward the drainage ditch that lay 120 yards down the fairway. At that point, Arnie would make a sound business offer: "I'll knock your ball over the ditch for a nickel...
...Leader. In 1960, Arnold Palmer, now 30, has fulfilled his childhood promise: he is widely recognized as golf's top player. And he got that way by developing to a rare degree the same qualities he showed as a cocky kid on Latrobe's sixth tee.

...shoulders and arms, a waist hardly big enough to hold his trousers up, thick wrists, and leather-hard, outsized hands that can crumple a beer can as though it were tissue paper.

Ever since January, when golf pros began chasing a fast fairway dollar eastward from Los Angeles toward the big-time championships of spring and summer, Palmer has been cashing in at a record rate. By last week he had earned...
Breakthrough. In announcing the new index, the Fed pointedly made no reference to the mounting attacks on its pol icy of credit restraint, which many Congressmen contend has sacrificed growth for stable prices. Last week Democrat Paul Douglas' Joint Economic Commit tee of Congress came out with a massive report on "employment, growth and price levels" that criticized the policies of Fed Chairman William McChesney Martin Jr. and Secretary of the Treasury Robert Anderson as "stepping too hard on the fiscal and monetary brakes,"thereby limiting economic expansion. But the Fed's bulletin makes clear that output...
