At that point, Arnie would make a sound business offer: "I'll knock your ball over the ditch for a nickel...
...drive down the fairway. Coldly precise in his study of the game, Palmer is anything but stolid during a round: he mutters imprecations to himself, contorts his face, sometimes drops his club and wanders away in disgust at a botched shot.

As evidenced by this winter's 7,700-mile Pacific shoot, Russian rockets have proved accurate enough to knock them all out with a single barrage. What Britain needs is a highly mobile missile force that can retaliate from submarines or surface ships, railroad flatcars or truck trailers.

Last week the Army's chief of staff, General Lyman Lemnitzer, sadly surrendered hope of prying loose $137 million in Nike-Zeus funding now bottled up by the Budget Bureau (although Nike-Zeus is still in the budget for $324 million of research and development...
