...steadiest short game on the tour. There are weaknesses, too. Palmer is a streak player ("It seems I was always blowing up just when I thought my game was under control''). Both he and Venturi are subject to long sieges of putting miseries. Casper tends to scatter his long shots and has a predilection for one bad round in too many tournaments; at Chicago, he carded a horrible 80 in the first round, came back with two 64s and a 67 to finish a respectable seventh. But overall, these three are far more consistent than...
...Duren denies both charges, explains: "The mound on the field is different-higher-than the warmup slab in the bullpen.

Under the circumstances, and in the light of the West's inability to answer free Hungary's call in 1956, the President's duty to act promptly...
Stanley Tackney does well as the news analyst who once said over the air, "Congratulations, President Dewey." Josephine Nichols, as his scatter-brained wife, would be fine if she didn't keep letting her voice rise to a shrill level. Kathern Shaw and Jeff Davis make an appealing pair of lovers, while Stratton Walling, John Lasell and an amazingly well-trained cat give capable support...
