   Bing Crosby, in hospital in Burlingame, Calif., with pleurisy, was reported in good spirits as he watched a telecast of the annual Pro-Am golf tourney that he normally hosts at Pebble Beach.

   Sam Goldwyn, 91, last of the pioneer Hollywood film tycoons, is expected to be released soon after recuperating for the past two weeks at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, Calif.
   Doctors refused to give the nature of the Goldwyn’s ailment, but the producer has been in fragile health since suffering a stroke in 1968.
   The producer, who gave his name to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, produced some of the screen’s most memorable films from the silent screen era to the 1960s, making household names of dozens of stars.
