...army met the troops at high noon last Thursday. As Arnold Palmer walked toward the 10th tee in the first round of the Bay Hill Invitational, his still impressive gallery blended in with the huge horde following Tiger Woods, who was about to tee off on the first hole. As you might expect when once and future kings collide, many of the old Army loyalists deserted the 67-year-old Palmer in favor of the 21-year-old Woods, and, indeed, the phenom rewarded his faithful with a four-under-par 68, one shot off the lead. Palmer, meanwhile, struggled...
...part, Woods is well aware of the example Palmer has set for him. "Arnold has many qualities I look up to, especially the graciousness that comes from the gentleman he is." Hot as he is, Woods would also do well to display the warmth that Palmer often shows his public. When someone pointed out to him on the first tee Thursday that the price tag on his hat was still attached, a la Minnie Pearl, Palmer responded, "That's because I'm going to turn it back in when I finish...
...Barbara Arnold, whose husband Michael Ansara operates the Share Group, a telemarketing firm that has worked for the Teamsters since 1991, gave the Carey campaign $45,000 on Oct. 31, 1996.

...Share Group, which was operating phone banks for the Teamsters, had overbilled the union more than $26,000 but was allowed to keep the money. Last week the fbi attempted to question the couple, but their attorney, William Codinha, said they were "out of town." He contends that Arnold made the contributions without Ansara's knowledge because she had recently inherited money--and that the proximity of the contributions to the Teamster payments is mere "serendipity...
...federal campaign laws, however, which are fuzzy in their application and relatively toothless in their remedies, the Teamster election rules are quite clear: evidence of illegal contributions that might have been decisive in an election requires a rerun. Although Carey beat Hoffa by a razor-thin margin and the Arnold contributions may have financed a crucial last-minute mailing, labor experts suspect that the government, which spent as much as $30 million on the closely monitored election, may be reluctant to act on these charges. Which would leave the Teamsters, along with the American taxpayers, mired in business as usual...
