...holes in several of the murder cases. Lucas, for example, was charged with a string of six killings and an attempted abduction between Oct. 2 and Nov. 2, 1978. To have committed those crimes, Lucas would have had to travel 1 1,000 miles in his 13-year-old Ford station wagon; in the last four days alone he would have covered 4,100 miles, which averages out to more than 40 m.p.h., 24 hours a day. The reporters say a task force headed by Texas Rangers was so eager to close unsolved cases that it failed to double-check...
American companies have taken the lead in this process. Ford Motor Co. openly trained black apprentices for skilled jobs that at the time were "reserved" by law for whites. IBM has earmarked $10 million of its South African profits to be spent on computer laboratories for black primary schools and teacher-training colleges, and General Motors is laying out $2 million to provide new houses, home improvements and scholarships to blacks. If American companies were forced out of South Africa, experts contend, they would not just close up shop; they would sell out. Says Jack Behrman, a former U.S. Assistant...

...sought to remind us that she who would make a real choice, a difficult choice, must be prepared for the world to reject or punish her for what she believes. Without this risk, a choice is insignificant. Against our own mindless choices of paper or plastic, Chevy or Ford, this Pope pointed us in the direction of those choices that make us fully human...
...look at each other. It didn't help that Mickelson played like a Sunday hacker; when he sliced an 18th-hole drive into an impossible lie, Woods grimaced in disgust. But the dysfunctional dynamic is a gift for the tour. When the pair went shot for shot at the Ford championship on a Sunday in early March (Woods won by a stroke), NBC's year-over-year ratings ballooned 96%. Tour officials are salivating over the rebirth of classic rivalries like Jack Nicklaus-- Arnold Palmer and Nicklaus--Tom Watson that could sustain pro golf for a decade...
