...chase for Koo at the Queen's retreat at Sandringham and flew to Switzerland, where Koo was rumored to be skiing. Then it was back to London, and off on a fast rumble to Sandringham again, in the sort of automotive projectile that is essential for royal-chasing, a Golf GTI that Carraro says will go more than 100 m.p.h. Diana was supposed to be there taking riding lessons (family tradition suggests that a Windsor Queen should be able to ride, but the Princess, who fell from a horse when she was small, has no love for the sport). Carraro...
Lake Forest, Ill., an affluent Chicago suburb, put together a slick 16-page Gift Handbook (subtitle: A Tradition of Excellence Through Giving), which lists such unbudgeted items as a $30,000 artificial lake for the 18th green of the municipal golf course, a $2.5 million indoor pool and a $1.2 million indoor tennis facility. While these wishes still await their fulfillment, Lake Forest has received $104,000 in donations since the list came out in September, including trees for the city's parkways, landscaping for city hall, an exercise trail in a city park and an oak table...

...Tapping golf balls across a green a couple of years back, Jim Flood, 49, flipped his putter around, swung a few times and achieved pleasant results. The president and chief tinkerer of a San Diego-based golf-equipment firm retired to his shop and emerged with the Basakwerd, a putter with a head that points toward the body. It demands a square stroke of the ball that literally forces the player to use a textbook swing. Or so the theory goes. Golfers, of course, will try anything short of pool cues or ball-peen hammers to improve their putting game...
