...golfer who hits a two-iron 210 yds. to within 3 in. of the pin and then complains, "Shucks, I pulled it," either has to be kidding-or Jack Nicklaus. Other people play golf; Nicklaus plays a different game. Last week, shooting what he called "the best competitive round" of that game he has ever played, Jack won the Sahara Invitational and boosted his season's earnings to an all-time record...
...first hole at Las Vegas' Paradise Valley Country Club, Nicklaus elected to use a No. 3 wood off the tee, blasted the ball nearly 400 yds., and collected his first birdie of the day. At the end of nine, Jack was three strokes under par. On the 375-yd., par-four tenth hole, his tee shot left him 85 yds. from the pin. Jack put his wedge to work.

Bart Starr is still the incomparable quarterback. But Starr has been hampered by rib injuries and a jammed thumb, served up an embarrassing nine interceptions in the first two games, and was taken out of the Atlanta game because of his injuries...
...minority leader to back a bill that would slash imports of 125 kinds of foreign steel products by as much as 40%. South Carolina's Democratic Senator Ernest Rollings meanwhile got 68 Senate cosponsors for a bill that would reduce imports of textiles from 2.7 billion sq. yds. a year to 1.7 billion sq. yds. In all, the seven bills would lower imports on a range of products including beef, mutton, veal, mink skins, zinc, footwear, oil, watches and dairy products. Even liberal Senators, under badgering from home, seemed sympathetic. Wisconsin Democrat William Proxmire sided with the dairy interests...
