...winners of 1966-and for that matter of all time (total earnings: $1,875,759). Now was Jack's chance to show everybody who was really the world's best golfer. Driving? On the second hole, a 497-yd. par-five, he was hole high after two wood shots; although he cautiously used irons off some of the tees, four times he hit drives over 300 yds. Pitching? On the 18th, Jack's second shot left him 90 yds. short of the green, under a tall pine. He had to hit the ball low enough to miss...
...second half came the Packers, the ultimate professionals, cool, competent, computerized-and more than a little mad. When Lenny Dawson tried to pass, he found himself staring at three onrushing Green Bay defenders-and threw the ball away, straight into the arms of Packer Safety-man Willie Wood, who ran it all the way back to the Kansas City five...
Antique counterfeiters also build cupboards from the broad boards in the attics of old houses.

What made the trend significant is that such furniture comes not from the avantgarde, relatively low-volume makers such as Knoll Associates and Herman Miller, but from mass manufacturers...
...plywood chair and matching otto man (Directional Industries, $280) instantly recall Aalto, for example, but the sausage-shaped arms and headrest owe more to Le Corbusier. Hans Eichenberger's tubular framed sofa (Sten-dig, $1,000) is a relatively straightforward, clean-lined exercise in the Miesian idiom. Blond wood was back in Edward Wormley's new line for Dunbar, which features ash in everything from storage carts that open up for dining ($560) to toadstool-shaped tables ($248) and benches...
