"When contradictory opinions have hardened, dialogue is no longer possible," he announced in Paris, canceling a three-week U.S. tour during which he was scheduled to lecture on "Ethics and History" at Cornell and at Manhattan's Y.M.H.A. Professor Jean-Jacques Demorest, Sartre's stood-up host at Cornell, was regretful but philosophical. "Sartre," said he, "is drawing more and more into abstract idealism. What he wants...

That boosted his official 1965 winnings to $27,332, tops on the tour by $11,000 over Billy Casper. Now there was an excuse for a party. "I climbed out of the Mr. Clean bottle on Sunday," says Doug. "But on Monday I jumped right back...
...Sanders stands stiff-legged, brings his club back such a short way that other pros say he "could swing in a telephone booth." With Jack Nicklaus still looking for his first victory of the year, Gary Player trying to commute from South Africa, and Arnie Palmer semiretired from the tour-he has played in only five of ten tournaments-Sanders sees no reason why he shouldn't Clean...
