...pilgrimage, Turnberry on the west coast seems a happy spot, being so convenient to Glasgow. The course fairly floats in midair over the Firth of Clyde, much the way Pebble Beach overlooks the Pacific Ocean, including the crashing surf and even the barking seals. Turnberry's open spaces are generous, and the heavy work is yet to come: the hands ringing in the heather and the hands wringing over the gorse. Scottish golf is a bouncier brand, played as much on the ground as in the air, and only when the putts are rolling well does anyone look...
...book about the life and drug-induced death of John Belushi. Both movies fit a familiar genre: a star is born, a star falls into the black hole of self- abuse, a star dies. But a third drug-and-alcohol drama, Clean and Sober, which opened last week to generous reviews, goes for the grit without the name- dropping glamour.

But as our presence is judged less foreign in America, we will produce a more generous art, less timid, less parochial. Hispanic Americans do not have a pure Latin American art to offer. Expect bastard themes. Expect winking ironies, comic conclusions. For Hispanics live on this side of the border, where Kraft manufactures Mexican-style Velveeta, and where Jack in the Box serves Fajita Pita. Expect marriage. We will change America even...
