...Himelman, despondent over an early morning report that he shot a 68 on a recent hourly, revived his spirits with a solid Group II effort on his Pleasant Valley scorecard: 87 strokes. Junior Spence Fitzgibbons, ailing under the delusion that he is the incarnation of the infamous Dr. Wadi Haddad of Terror International, died once again as he soared to what is a nice temperature in the Iraqi desert--85. Sophomore Jim Dales chattered his way through a four-putt green and an 82. Senior Dave Paxton played a near impeccable front nine, then rose to the occasion...

At the moment, the most probable candidate for that job would be Wadi Haddad, 48, a squat Palestinian who operates covertly from both Libya and Iraq. (He seeks anonymity to a point that one of the few pictures of him known to have existed has been stolen from the files of an Arab government intelligence agency.)
