...join the fold. "Jesus is never satisfied sharing; he wants all," warns Escrivá. Although less than 2% of its members are priests, all members are encouraged to take the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. As interpreted by Opus Dei, the vows for lay members are somewhat less strict than for priests. Whether or not they have taken the vows, members may own their own cars and homes and salt away enough money to protect themselves from financial ruin, but they are expected to turn over all "excess" income to the organization. They may marry and have children ("Chastity...
Just to Listen. The strict security arrangements kept Johnson from mingling with Latin Americans and pressing the flesh, but he made up for that in his private sessions with the Presidents. His face burnished copper by the warm Uruguayan sun, he sat in a lounge chair on the lawn of his seaside villa and, between formal summit sessions, received a steady procession of Latin American leaders in arm-gripping, rib-punching, face-to-face talks.

"We narrow the fairways, raise the roughs and collar the greens," says Executive Director Joseph Dey Jr. "We want our tournament to be a true test of skill." That it is. The lowest score ever in the Open was the 276 shot by the magnificent "Wee Ice Mon," Ben Hogan...
Most players observe a strict honor code. "The loser will almost always cough up--eventually," one gambler said. There are, of course, the notable exceptions. One perpetual loser's IOU's (known to the holders as moths) were sold back and forth at 20 per cent of face value. At his graduation, a number of his friends got together and gave him several hundred dollars worth of his own moths...
