...disheartened group of Harvard linksters who came into the clubhouse after the morning 18, but then they realized the rest of the field was also finding bunker shots comparable to hitting into a sand storm in the Gobi desert...
...Cleveland Ballet. General Manager Gerald Ketelaar concedes that his city used to be "a desert for dance." But that was before 1972, when two former dancers, Ian Horvath and Dennis Nahat, decided that a town that supported a first-rate museum and symphony orchestra could handle ballet as well. They launched a school, and a company followed four years later. With an annual budget now approaching $1 million, the ballet has 28 dancers under contract and will stage 27 performances this season; attendance regularly runs to 70% to 80% of the city's 1,500-seat Hanna Theater...
...with a solid Group II effort on his Pleasant Valley scorecard: 87 strokes. Junior Spence Fitzgibbons, ailing under the delusion that he is the incarnation of the infamous Dr. Wadi Haddad of Terror International, died once again as he soared to what is a nice temperature in the Iraqi desert--85.

With its 1,000-mile, surf-attacked Atlantic Ocean coastline and its seemingly endless expanses of desert, Namibia (also known as South West Africa) is startlingly beautiful-a virgin land the size of Texas and Louisiana, with a population of only 900,000. More important, it is one of the richest corners of Africa, possessing vast and largely untapped treasures of diamonds, copper, and other minerals. At Rossing, near the deep-water port of Walvis...
