Tied for first place after the first round, Radtke played an aggressive style of golf over the final 18 holes. Playing without a leader board to dictate strategy (there are no leader boards in college golf), the co-captain's attacking style cost him on the 17th hole. Trying to make birdie, Radtke hit his drive into the water and took a penalty, a shot which probably cost him the tournament...

But Martin Luther, in pioneering Protestantism, stressed that every Christian could and should establish his own relationship with Christ by the reading of Scripture.

It was there, police believe, that Weinstein was able to activate the recorder...
...Ryle published a landmark book called The Concept of Mind. It resoundingly dismissed the idea of a human soul--a "ghost in the machine," as Ryle derisively put it--as a hangover from prescientific thought. Ryle's juiciest target was the sort of soul imagined back in the 17th century by Rene Descartes: an immaterial, somewhat autonomous soul that steers the body through life. But the book subdued enthusiasm for even less supernatural versions of a soul: mind, consciousness, subjective experience...
