...17th hole on St. Andrews' hallowed, fishhook-shaped Old Course is one of the world's great golfing tests, a 463-yd., par five, whose hazards include a deeply trapped green, a stone wall, a road, and a cluster of barns that mask the green from the tee. Arnold Palmer of Latrobe, Pa., whose flaming finishes won this year's Masters and U.S. Open tournaments, is the world's best golfer, one who could be expected to handle even the "Road Hole."

This is Richard-lame leg, hunchback, "weerish withered arme" and all-and he is a frightening man indeed. A minute later the moviegoer is alone with the monster. "Why," he confides, as the thin lip writhes with an impish humor, "I can smile, and murder while I smile...
...with curing an illness that kept him bedridden in childhood, has said that he will not be wearing the patch forever. *By unhappy coincidence, ex-Budget Director Douglas also wears an eyepatch. In 1949, while U.S. Ambassador to Britain, he was casting for salmon in West Hampshire, snagged a fishhook in his left eye. He adopted the patch to avoid double vision-incidentally inspiring the advertising campaign of the Man in the Hathaway Shirt. * To return to Washington in December, 1954 as Ike's special assistant on foreign economic policy...
