...play in pressure-packed tournaments week after week, ten months of the year. With the 1958 tour two-thirds complete, three of golf's Young Turks hold a long lead in the earnings list: Arnold Palmer, 28, of Latrobe, Pa. ($40,478), Bill Casper, 27, of Chula Vista, Calif. ($38,332), and Venturi, 27, of San Francisco ($37,044). Palmer has finished in the top ten in 13 of 24 tournaments, Casper in twelve of 23, Venturi in 14 of 24.

...Light in the Forest (Buena Vista) is a Walt Disney film about Indians. Delving no deeper than a cat lapping milk from a saucer, Disney has churned out yet another strong-legged, soft-headed pioneer epic, in which each character, action and motive is painted in shrieking monotone.

The heroes are a Confederate veteran and his ailing son (played by Alan Ladd and his winsome, talented eleven-year-old son David). The boy saw his mother killed by Sherman's troops and was literally struck dumb at the sight. He and his father are wandering northward through what the script calls Illinois-actually a spectacular piece of Utah scenery-looking...
...Strong Are the Democrats? California Democrats have been adding new voters faster than the G.O.P., now claim a registration of 3,542,374 to the Republicans' 2,552,678. Democratic candidates have led in pre-primary straw votes. A strong Brown-Engle tide would give them a rosy vista for November...
