...into President Kennedy's assassination, one headline at a time. As his pile of clippings grew, so did the number of skeptics. Last week, in an hour-long program called "The J.F.K.

...take no chances and hit a No. 1 iron instead of a wood off the tee. The ball sliced into the rough; Nicklaus pitched out-and reached for the No. 1 again. This time he belted it a full 240 yds., onto the green, 22 ft. from the pin.

The firm precise features, the lavish year-round tan, the sleek hair tipped with gray--in short, the sort of well-known, personable entertainer with whom Spencer Roberts could do wonders. In a dark blue, pin-striped suit with rep tie, Vaughn looks like a million votes...
