Ten golfers beat it-and the one who beat it most was a self-assured, young (24) automobile salesman from San Francisco. In the first round Amateur Ken Venturi, a protege of Veteran Byron Nelson, grabbed the Masters' lead with a flashing...
...submit designs for the Pinocchio memorial. Tempted by so grand a prize (1,500,000 lire), 84 sculptors and architects sent in projects: merry Pinocchios, realistic Pinocchios, sad Pinocchios, surrealist Pinocchios.

When cast in bronze, Greco's figure will stand a little away from Venturi's magic quadrangle on the grounds of Collodi's stateliest 18th century villa...
...Which gets its quick-lifting power from the U-shaped bands which function on the principle of the Venturi tube, i.e., the faster air flows through a tube with a narrow throat and flaring ends, the lower the pressure drops within the tube.

But in Nos. 2 and 3, Painter Caravaggio was clearly trying to stress dramatic, physical movement-a concession, says Venturi, to the classicist critics...
