...qualities of simplicity and tenderness, in which the best French pictures have so often outclassed Hollywood, give these little scenes a dramatic impact which, by comparison, makes the collapse of Pompeii (see p. 52) a pin drop.

...earlier a woman knows she is pregnant and can deal with her child-to-be, the better for him. Eighty per cent of a human being is perfected during the 40 weeks in the womb.

Now, at a short hole, Goodman pitched his tee shot within two feet of the pin for an easy birdie. Little's ball stopped rolling 15 feet from the pin. When he sighted the downhill lie he knew it was a shot that might well be decisive. He sank it to halve the hole, won the 28th and 29th, clinched the match on the 33rd...
