...life, with all its trials of whimsy and honor, although too much can be made of golf's solitary responsibilities and life's essential loneliness. Done well, neither living nor golfing is negotiated completely alone, as a master at both demonstrated last week on a particularly sunny day in Augusta...
Until last week, Helen Nicklaus, 78, had not revisited Augusta National since her son's first Masters as a Walker Cup amateur in 1959. That year her husband Charlie drove the family from Columbus, pausing at Ohio State to fetch Jack's girlfriend Barbara. Among many privileges the pharmacist accorded his son was access to a storied golf course, the local Scioto Country Club, where Bobby Jones won a U.S. Open in 1926.

...possibilities. The artist who calls herself Chryssa has used neon in major pieces since the 1960s. Last year Artist Stephen Antonakos created two monumental 96-ft. by 12-ft. abstract neon walls of apple green, red-orange, pink and blues inside the Tacoma Dome, a sports arena.

To make room for the painting on the left side of the door to the Diplomatic Reception Room, the traditional...
...pervasive fog of drugs is the dark side of the Dead Heads' exceptional amiability. There is no thuggery here, as there can be in other rock crowds, no feeling of physical menace. Dead Heads cherish stories of Dead niceness. Kathleen from New Hampshire says that last fall at Augusta, Me., she was stopped at the door when someone sold her a counterfeit Dead ticket. She was sitting outside the hall, crying, when a stranger came up and gave her a real ticket, and a rose. But drug burnout is a problem among these nice people. Keep your ears open just...
