...harboring or expressing opinions antagonistic to an established order of government. There is no question that the U.S. has a long and frequently dishonorable history of persecuting its citizens who hold unpopular opinions. The record reaches back past the Joseph McCarthy era to Sacco and Vanzetti, the Palmer raids, the Wobblies, and the Haymarket trial of 1887. There is also the ambiguous case of the Utah Mormons, who were persecuted in the late 19th century for the "crime" of practicing polygamy, then a canon of their faith. In a certain sense, those Latter-day Saints arrested for refusing to divorce...
...Department of State pleaded guilty last week. One of its Foreign Service officers, blonde, blue-eyed Alison ("Tally") Palmer, 39, charged that she had been discriminated against because of her sex-and there was no defense...
...touring pros would vote for Nicklaus, who can outdrive Trevino by 30 yds. and win any tournament when he puts his total game together. Most colorful? Most popular?

Six strokes off the pace after the first round, Lee pitched in a 105-yd. sand wedge for an eagle and holed a 35-ft. birdie putt on the final day of play to tie 47-year-old Art Wall for first place. Then, on the first hole of the sudden-death playoff, he coolly knocked in a snaking 18-ft. birdie to win the $30,000 first prize...
Since joining the tour, Lee has won nine P.G.A. tournaments and currently ranks No. 10 among golf's alltime money winners. (Palmer leads, with $1,364,898.) Besieged by sponsors waiting to have their wallets tapped, he also has a host of lucrative endorsement deals with, among others, Blue Bell, Inc. (sportswear), Abbott Laboratories (golf equipment), Stylist Shoe Co., Downtowner Motor Inns, Chrysler's Dodge Division, and, of course, the Dr Pepper Co. In addition, Lee Trevino Enterprises Inc. is readying a TV series called Golf Celebrity and a $1.5 million luxury apartment complex in El Paso called Casa Trevino...
