Kaufman — An
Intimate Por t r a i t," by
Howard Teichmann, is much
more than that It is the life
story of an important per-
sonality, by one who worked
with him; it is the story of
an era in theatrical sensa-
tions: it is a biography filled
with humor, events that
marked a significant period
in America's theatrical his-
tory, the story of Broadway
as it wasirea ching its
heights.

Robert Si. John's Ben-Yehudah
Biography Issued as Paperback
Almost simultaneous with
the appearance of the Jew-
ish Publication Society's
Covenant Book on the life
of Eliezer Ben Yehudah —
Dvorah Om-
er's "Rebirth"
— comes the
reissuing in a
paperback edi-
tion of Robert
St. John's
"Tongue of
the Prophets."
The St. John
biography of
Ben Yehudah
St. John
was a sensa-
tion when it first appeared
in 1952 and will undoubtedly
be welcomed by very many
who have been
unable to
secure the book because it
has been out of print for a
decade.
In the style of an analyst
who reports historically but
whose writings fascinate the
reader as if it were fiction,
St. John portrayed the life
of the man who was prima-
rily responsible for turning
classic Hebrew into a living
tongue with enthusiasm. The
spirit that prevails in this
Oakland Hills
Site of Nicklaus
PGA Defense
Although Jack Nicklaus
will not be looking for the
final leg of the much pub-
licized grand slam in the sen-
sational PGA golf battle, he
certainly will be gunning to
defend his title at Oakland
Hills, Aug. 3-6, against a hot
Lee Trevino and a field of
about 150 of the world's lead-
ing professional golfers.
The tremendous response
of golf fans in the Michigan
area to the upcoming cham-
pionship contest is evidenced
in the advance sale of tickets
among the greatest in the
history of major golf cham-
pionship battles. The ticket
limit now has been reached
for the week-end of Aug. 5-6.
Tickets are available, how-
e v e r, for championship
rounds, Aug. 3 and 4, and
for the three practice rounds,
July 31-Aug. 2.
The television blackout has
been lifted so that the tens
of thousands wishing to see
the matches will be able to
view them on TV in the
75-mile area around Detroit.
