...Guatemala, where philandering approaches the status of a national sport, the present chief of state, President Miguel Ydígoras Fuentes, 65, is a defiant monogamist of 38 years' standing. Last week, after long tolerating the irailties of his colleagues, the marital maverick finally shot off a thunderbolt to the Ministry of Interior. "Public rumors supported by evidence," he wrote, "show that many functionaries and government officials not only have mistresses but are seen in public with them, displaying disrespect toward their homes.''

For nine sweaty hours, Palmer and Player, warming up for the 101st British Open at Birkdale this week, inched over the 6,936-yd. course, waiting for the lumbering tractors to haul the bluidy magic lanterns into position. Gibed The Scotsman: "A funeral procession could have given today's affair a start and a beating...
...last week's meet, four seconds, one third. Seven of them are married; none are well-off. Without them. Villanova's James F. ("Jumbo Jim") Elliott, who must make do coaching a squad studded with leftovers, should still have a winning team. Along with Budd and 220-yd. Winner Paul Drayton, two sprinters he developed himself, Jumbo has enough speedsters to sweep every flat race from
