Like Carol, the ladies' tour has come a long way in a short time. In 1961, only $186,000 in prize money was at stake; this year the total is up to more than $500,000. Carol Mann's victory at Shreveport earned her $1,725, boosted her 1968 earnings to $9,550, tops on the tour. By contrast, Tom Weiskopf, the No. 1 moneywinner on the men's circuit, has already earned $73,322 this year-almost 75% of what Carol has won in her eight years...
...driving contest. Probably the longest hitter on the ladies' tour, Carol consistently belts her drives 250 yds. or more, and there is little wrong with the rest of her game. Last month, in Atlanta's Lady Carling Open, she shot 66-66-68 for a 54-hole total of 200-16 under par and the lowest score ever recorded in a ladies' tournament...
...such stars of the era as Arthur Fields, Gene Austin, Ruth Etting and Russ Columbo. But Tiny dismisses the notion that he does imitations. "The spirits of singers whose songs I do are living within me," he insists. All this is pathetically easy to mock, yet Tiny's total absorption in his role-what one friend calls "the purity of his madness" -cloaks him in an impervious aura of innocence. Blithely he goes on communing with his windup Victrola and 400 old recordings, and indulging such eccentricities as taking "a big shower" for 90 minutes each day, plus several...
Covering South Vietnamese paratroopers as they advanced from house to house on the edge of Saigon last week. U.P.I. Photographer Charles Eggleston, 23, was struck in the head by a bullet and killed-bringing the total number of newsmen who have died in the war to 17. As the fighting has come to Saigon and other cities, reporters have been in more danger than ever before. The previous week, TIME Correspondent John Cantwell, 30, lost his life along with three other newsmen: Michael Birch, 24, Australian Associated Press correspondent; Ronald Laramy, 31, a Reuters correspondent; and Bruce Pigott, 23, assistant...
...Charlotte Observer (177,950), the Akron Beacon Journal (178,147), the Charlotte News (63,772) and the Tallahassee Democrat (29,300) are all increasing their circulation and are highly profitable. With interests in one television and three radio stations as well as three Florida weeklies, the group's total revenues reached $123 million in 1967, up $4,000,000 from the year before. 'Net income, however, was down from $9,000,000 in 1966 to $8,000,000 last year, mainly because of the 26-week strike against the Free Press that still shows no sign of ending...
