...Army. Who does? But after his victory last week in one of professional golf's most prestigious tournaments, the rangy, 28-year-old Californian certainly has the beginnings of Dave's Dragoons. Unsung and largely unknown, he was the only man among 70 golfers to beat par with a one-under-279 for 72 holes around Tulsa's notoriously tough Southern Hills course. In the 100° heat, Jack Nicklaus soared to a horrendous 76 on the second round and Lee Trevino posted a pair of embarrassing 77s. But Stockton calmly put together a pair of even...

Or if he is a newcomer, he has probably been referred by one of Salz's regular clients. The si lence is intense, almost op pressive - the kind of well-draped, deep-carpeted quiet that in New York costs a great deal of money, and the visitor has time to look around at Salz's private collection: Chinese bronzes in cases throughout the house, a large, handsome view of St. Tropez...
