...People's Tragedy (Viking; 923 pages; $39.95), by Orlando Figes, a historian at Trinity College, Cambridge, deals vividly with starvation, disease, tribal hatreds, sociopathic blood lust, religious mania, governmental terrorism and most other sources of human misery. But the author's predominant diagnosis of what went wrong, on all sides and without letup, is that stupidity ruled--quite literally in the case of the last Czar, Nicholas II (who comes across here as dull-minded and weak), and his wife Alexandra (dull-minded and forceful).

...tour proceeds back through golf history, from Palmer's Bay Hill to the Masters created by Jones to Ouimet's U.S. Open. "Tiger has an opportunity to become one of the greatest golfers, or maybe even the greatest golfer, of all time," Palmer recently told Larry Guest of the Orlando Sentinel.
