Masters officials then marched him off to the clubhouse to prepare for a TV interview. Minutes later, they called him back - and informed him that his card was inaccurate. On the 71st hole, in full view of the gallery and countless millions of TV watchers, Roberto had scored a birdie three. But his playing partner and scorekeeper, Tommy Aaron, had marked him down for a par four - and De Vicenzo had not caught the error. Under Rule No. 38, that four stood official, giving Roberto a 278 instead of a 277. When Bob Goalby later came in with...
...this skin of bright and exquisitely sculpted phenomena, death waits." It was a full-dress religious crisis lasting several months, and Updike says now that he got through it only by clinging to the stern, neo-orthodox theology of Switzerland's Karl Earth. In Earth's uncompromising view, reason can prove only that the nonexistence of God is absurd; the positive assertion, that God does exist, can come only by means of revelation...
Dionysian Yelps. It would be hard to exaggerate how far removed Updike is from this view of the world as lunatic comedy.

His forms are abstract; but as the artist points out, the Arab also gilds his mosques and minarets with nonrepresentational decoration. Over the years, Youngerman has consistently enlarged, unloosed and simplified his own bannerlike designs, intensifying the colors until...
Myopic Eye. The danger of such a credo, of course, is that the camera gives a distorted view that no amount of voice narration can dispel. A few hours after the King assassination, one Manhattan station showed a film jump ing with sirens, flashing lights and wrestling figures, which made it seem as if Times Square was a battleground. Lost in the scuffle was the announcer's voice-over saying that the damage consisted of two broken windows...
