...voices were fresh, but the dialogues themselves were as old as men. All, that is, except one. It came from a 94.8-lb. paddle-wheeled ball that last week rose from the surface of the earth and vaulted through space. The destiny of Pioneer V lay in the unknown void-as far as 186 million miles away-in a 527 million-mile sun-circling orbit between the earth and Venus (see SCIENCE). And of all the machinery thrown into the heavens since the space age began only 29 months ago, Pioneer V alone has a voice that will thunder through...
When he is hot, he can wind up on the tee and belt the ball a country mile. He can putt as if the ball had eyes. But nearly any pro, when he is hot, can do the same. The difference is that this year, sharpshooting Arnold Palmer, 30, has stayed happily heated up almost all the time. Ever since January, when golf pros began chasing a fast fairway dollar eastward from Los Angeles toward the big-time championships of spring and summer, Palmer has been cashing in at a record rate. By last week he had earned...
Palmer's high-priced performance required both steadiness and flash. It took sure hands on the sun-baked courses of the Southwest, where the ball rolls forever if it is hit down the middle; and Palmer was on target often enough to win the Palm Springs Classic and the Texas Open. It called for a spectacular change of pace at Pensacola, where he came from behind on moist, slow Gulf Coast greens, banked on long, bold putts to rack up a seven-under-par 65 in the second round to take the tournament by a single stroke...
...finest bench in basketball. Even the loss of Hatchetman Jim Loscutoff (6 ft. 5 in., 230 lbs.) with a back injury has not slowed the team. Negro Guards K. C. Jones (6 ft. 1 in., 202 lbs.) and Sam Jones (6 ft. 4 in., 198 lbs.) can move the ball nearly as well as Cousy and Sharman. The Celtics' only faults: lack of talented height to back up Bill Russell and creeping old age (Cousy is 31, Loscutoff 30, Ramsey...
...first heroic hero appears: a knight who delays implacable Death long enough to accomplish "one single meaningful action." He preserves the lives of Mia and Jof (Mary and Joseph)" and their infant son, who will one day ''perform the one impossible trick" of making a ball stand still in the air, i.e., he will transcend nature. The Seventh Seal marks the great divide in Bergman's life and work. With it death and desperation fall away, life and hope appear...
