...nearly dreamed it once. I had 17 holes in one and lipped out at the last. I was mad as hell." But the allure it holds for those who cannot play in the slightest is a secret as elusive as a dream. A few days after the Open, Golf Digest tried to get to the bottom of this and certainly got to the bottom of something. Its advertisements for awful golfers had fetched about 600 nominations, though requirements such as a relatively healthy body and a certified 36 handicap (the maximum) pared the field substantially. Candidates also...

The chosen quotes featured the ex- President's defense of his pardon of Richard Nixon, and Nation Editor Victor Navasky argued that Ford's own words on the pardon and other subjects were "hot news." The book's publishers, Harper & Row and Reader's Digest, sued, charging that Navasky had violated the copyright laws and stolen former President Ford's right to determine the time and place for first publication of his recollections...

For the left it seems all quite paradoxical, and hypocritical: the Administration denounces Salvadoran guerrillas for blowing up power stations and attacking villages, while at the same time it supports Nicaraguan guerrillas who are doing the same thing only a few miles away. But the idea that intellectual honesty requires one to be for or against all revolution is absurd. You judge a revolution, as you do any other political phenomenon, by what it stands for. Suppose you believe that justice was on the side of the central...
