...standing at the bottom of Big Mouth, the nickname for the 15-ft.-deep bunker beside the 17th green at the Oakmont Country Club. It's swallowing me whole--I jump off the sand just to peek at the pin. Soon, the U.S. Open will descend on this storied Pittsburgh, Pa.--area course for a record eighth time. But today I'm the entertainment. A couple of caddies encourage me to swing my sand wedge and lift the ball over the mountain in front of me. I take my hardest hack; the ball knocks against Big Mouth...
Oakmont revels in playing mind tricks. "Another player told me that you'll probably putt at least one if not two balls off the green each day," says Shaun Micheel, winner of the 2003 PGA Championship.

The Energy Act of 2005 mandated a market for ethanol by asking refiners to churn out 7.5 billion...

His shirt is a vague shade of green, and his trademark “skinny jeans”—ripped in one knee—hug his hips. The get-up is typically outlandish, but, perhaps more importantly, it is reflective of the leadership style that serves Petersen well: wacky but workable...
...moves toward greater collaboration and interdisciplinary teaching and research, new structures will be needed to bring faculty and students from various disciplines together in human-scale buildings with plenty of places to cross paths and learn from each other. The Allston campus will also be permeable, welcoming neighbors into green spaces and connecting residents to its educational and cultural resources. Both Harvard’s master plan and the North Allston Neighborhood Strategic Framework Plan call for blending the University community and Allston residents and visitors, particularly at Barry’s Corner, with a mix of arts and culture...
