...Jones as he looked back on his long career. "Someone is always losing it." Some old standbys were already losing it when the syth National Open golf tournament had barely begun. Bantam Ben Hogan, bent on winning for the fifth time, lost out before he got to the first tee at Toledo's Inverness Club; his back and chest had him in too much pain to swing. Veteran Tommy Bolt sprayed his shots so badly that he quit after only four holes of the second round...

Snead, meanwhile, was slowing down. He was still flirting with par, but behind Ford's hot-handed game, par was not going to be good enough. Doug Ford shot not a single bogey; he had five birdies on his scorecard when he stepped to the 18th tee. His drive was straight, but he found his approach shot buried all but out of sight in a green-protecting trap. Now, if ever, he had an excuse to change his pace, to slow down and study his lie. He knew better. He walked into the sand, barely looked at the ball...

...Teahouse of the August Moon. Menu: tee-hee (scented with sociology), and a side dish of red-white-and-blue-striped slapstick, charmingly served by Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford, Machiko Kyo (TIME...
