...only at Ike for playing golf, but also at the game itself, which he called the foolish pursuit of "the little ball." Last week, before turning the Colinas de Villareal Golf Club into a workers' social club, Castro and a couple of sidekicks decided to take a whack at the little white ball themselves. Castro clomped around the course in fatigues and combat boots, announced at the outset that he could beat President Kennedy. His right-hand man, "Che" Guevara, Moscow's favorite transplanted Argentine, allowed in turn that he himself was sure to beat Ike. Castro shot...

Her children did not bite nails, climb trees or throw naughty tantrums. If they did, there could be a paddy whack on the "sit-upon." But when sickness fell, it was nanny who sat by the bedside all night. In 1946, when the famed Alah died after being nanny to the Queen Mother, the Queen and Princess Margaret, she was placed in a grave alongside that of the Queen Mother...
