...lovely 120-yd. pitch to the green: the ball hit a foot beyond the cup and took a backward hop in for an impossible eagle two. On the ninth hole, another tough par four, he blasted a six-iron approach out of a bunker and through some branches 158 yds. to a green he could not even see; the ball rolled dead two feet from the hole, and he had a birdie three. On the 13th, Stockton's second shot splashed into a pond; he took a one-stroke penalty, dropped another ball and hit a wedge to within...
...first event is coon-on-the-log. A chained raccoon in an open box atop a 2½-ft. log is waded out 12 yds. from shore by two handlers. The hounds are released, and the baying dog who can swim to the log and dump the coon into the drink in the shortest time (winning time: 11.1 seconds) is declared the winner. A well-bred sire can bring up to $9,000; raccoons come free to those who can catch them. The canine competition continues through drag races toward a caged coon hanging from a tree and another atop...

Hurrying to the control tower, Pattakos established radio contact with the plane, which had landed and taxied to an open space 250 yds. away. The hijackers threatened to shoot anyone who approached...
...skill by demanding well-thought-out and beautifully executed shots." Convinced that the gallery does not want to see "boring putting contests but great golf shots," he would even like to eliminate "cheap birdies" by extending the minimum length of par-five holes from 470 to 500 yds. "But, oh, would the pros scream," he says. "They are so pampered that if they ran the tour, they'd be shooting 250 for 72 holes. That would be like playing major league baseball on a softball diamond...
