Like many other little girls, Electra Havemeyer liked to collect dolls. Her collection eventually included early American rag and wood dolls, dolls made of bisque, china, papier-mâchÊ, wax, rubber, rawhide, gutta-percha and celluloid. She also liked dollhouses, and wound up owning 43 of them, some big enough to accommodate people...

...13th from 4 ft., the 14th from 5 ft. In all, he used only 29 putts. With a four-stroke lead and only the par-five 542-yd. 18th left to play, Jack decided to take no chances and hit a No. 1 iron instead of a wood off the tee. The ball sliced into the rough; Nicklaus pitched out-and reached for the No. 1 again. This time he belted it a full 240 yds., onto the green, 22 ft. from the pin. Jack carefully surveyed the putt and stroked it straight into the center...
