imum for men), and who plays
more than 21 rounds a year —
miserably.
Senior editor Jerry Tarde ex-
plained, “The winner must be
a golf nut who loves the game
— despite his inadequacies —
confident that one day he will
find a secret swing, a key to
putting his game on track.”,
Does it seem that Mr. Tarde
is directing his comments
specifically at you? Do you see
more sand in nine holes on the
course than you would in nine
weeks on the Sahara? If so,
write to America's Worst Avid
Golfer, Golf Digest, P.O. Box
5350, Norwalk, Conn. 06856.
Maybe you’ll be one of the two
lucky finalists who will even-
tually link up on one of the na-
tion’s top courses

For help in becoming an ex-

ject warms your intellect, write
Gross at 17 Myrtle Drive, Great
Neck, N.Y. 11021. You’ll never
stand on a three-mile-long
registration line again.

So Watkins came up with a
flower dispensing machine and
set it up outside his shop.
Before he knew it, business

Pets, by Yi-Fu Tuan. It’s an

The American Historical
Supply Catalogue lists “newly
manufactured items from the
past available today.” Author
Alan Wellikoff has compiled an
amazing array of oldie-like
goodies that can be ordered
from suppliers all over Amer-
ica. If you want, you can get an
1815 apothecary chest, fill it
with Thayers Slippery Elm
Throat Lozenges, decorate it
with a whale oil lamp, build an
exact replica of Thoreau’s Wal-
den Pond cabin to put it all in,
and enjoy a puff or two on a
Mark Twain 1896 pipe during
construction.
So whether you’re a history
buff, one of those rare people
who has everything, or just
sick and tired of the 20th cen-
tury, have a look at the book.
