An impressive 86% agreed with him that the energy shortage was serious. By margins ranging from 2 to 1 up to 8 to 1, Americans supported most provisions of his plan. Most favored...

Unable to keep from swaying at address, Vik took a swat at his ball while striding up to it. The result was a smoother hook that carried some 50 yards. After that, Vik hit his driver off the fairway followed by a 3-wood, but was still shy of the green...
