Yet Bright, whom Graham biographer William Martin calls "one of the most important of a generation of Evangelical titans," may have had nearly as much impact.

...history. Maybe, if so inspired, they?ll take a shot at the pot in the PGA Tour event in Endicott, N.Y. The B.C. Open suffers the annual misfortune of being held simultaneous with the British Open, which means it will never have Tiger or Phil or Davis in fold.
