...Desert. "Why don't they just hold this tournament in the Sahara Desert?" groused one pro, when the temperature on the 7,046-yd. Dallas Athletic Club course soared to 110°. Three golfers quit midway through the second round because of heat exhaustion. Arnold Palmer shot a first-round 74, and moaned that he could not putt on the club's "awful" greens. Australia's Bruce Crampton complained bitterly about the noise of Palmer's gallery, "standing around chewing sandwiches." South Africa's tense Gary Player, the defending P.G.A. champion, never got within seven...
...tense and drawn, was in lane No. 2. The others were strung out across the track. Bang! At the gun, California's George Jessup pounced in front. Beatty was second, Weisiger third, Grelle fourth, Snell a distant sixth. Nobody expected Jessup to be around for long. Sure enough, midway through the second lap, Beatty leaped into the lead...

The Royals were sizzling midway through the period--they outscored Boston 15 to 1 in one stretch--but could never get closer than nine points...

Earlier, McNamara had announced four other such overflights. These flights could hardly help point up the vulnerability of the carriers-despite Navy insistence that the Soviet planes were detected on radar while still 200 miles from the Constellation, were intercepted by the carrier's planes while some 100 miles away and were escorted in their passes. When asked whether the announcement of the over...
