...newspaper offered $100 prizes for water-saving ideas and got some good ones (first winner: don't rinse empty milk bottles). City hall was bombarded with suggestions, among them a proposal to ban shaving and a surefire formula for rain: hang a freshly killed snake in a tree. Mayor Robert Wagner became enthusiastic over the possibilities of rainmaking after reading a newspaper story about a new electronic device that was said to have dumped torrents on parched Escondido, Calif. As it turned out, Escondido had received less rainfall than New York−half an inch since July 1. Undaunted...
...Firari, winner in 1960 of the William Morris Scholarship in Playwriting at the Yale School of Drama, has ten plays, most of them produced, to his credit. His present effort, like most plays from the Theatre of the Absurd, is ambitions. "Who is Man?" and "What Is God" are the basic questions considered...
...clubs now place a limit on the bids and a muzzle on the members. In fact, to hear most officials tell it, the only money that ever changes hands on a golf course these days goes to the caddies.

In his junior year, Nicklaus won four tournaments to Palmer's two and collected a nifty $113,284 to edge Palmer by $81 as golf's top money winner.

A. championship, Nicklaus has won four tournaments, including the Masters, has already made more money than last year (see box), and is within...
...World War II aircraft engines, they scream along at speeds up to 180 m.p.h., tossing huge rooster tails of spray 40 ft. high in their wakes. The crowds are the biggest-300,000 or more. And the prize is the richest-$10,500, plus a new car to the winner. At last week's 58th annual running of the race on Seattle's Lake Washington, the sentimental favorite was a hometown hero: Ron Musson, 36, who had won the cup for the past two years in Miss Bardahl. But his hydroplane was three years old, had not been...
