...outset it was Nicklaus who seemed about to place even further beyond reproof his reputation as the greatest contemporary golfer when he jumped out to a three stroke lead over Watson. He went nine under par by birdieing the fourth hole, known as Woe-be-tide, a par three where the tee shot must carry over a treacherous cove to a green nestled in the dunes...

For a century now, this most contentious of faiths has pressed upon an unwilling audience the message that mankind is nearing the End. Franz, a bachelor who has labored in the sect's headquarters since 1920, will not be surprised if he lives to see the destruction of the world's political order in the Battle of Armageddon, which will usher in Christ's 1,000-year reign...
