...ambled along, playing the kind of steady, conservative golf that wins few fans - but lots of tournaments. Indeed, though he was the fourth-highest-ranking pro golfer last year, with winnings of $150,972, the 29-year-old Californian is one of the least-known top players on the tour. It's not that people don't notice him; at 6 ft. 6 in. and 185 lbs., he sticks out on the greens like a pin placement. It's just that he is short on glamour. "People tell me to grin more," he says, "smile...
Kennedy defended the memo as routine for such a tour and said that the three Republicans, Murphy, Henry Bellmon of Oklahoma and William Saxbe of Ohio, had been sent copies.

But before the trip was half over, Ted Kennedy was reminded once again of the complexity of Robert's legacy. Besides having inherited the constituency of the poor*, he is also heir to the charges...
...them of "trying to lead a fight against the union for their own political expediency." The U.M.W. president, who rarely visits the bleak mine towns where his members precariously earn their living, has decided that he should do some campaigning himself. U.M.W. headquarters announced this week that Boyle will tour West Virginia to tell the miners "what the union has done for them...
