Charles Fournier, a former army sergeant and nursing-home administrator who was accustomed to bossing people around, used to swear he would kill himself before he'd let anyone put him in a nursing home. So he was almost as baffled as his wife was when, after two strokes, he chose last year to live in one. Even this hardened military man couldn't resist a place with 40 birds, 25 rabbits, 12 cats and four dogs living there, noisy kids at an on-site day-care facility and committee meetings to attend to help run the place...
...Bush Administration's State Department and for the past eight years as the Clinton Administration's special Middle East coordinator.

He then erased that mistake with three birdies. And he did it all on a course well known by every golf fan--one that sets a standard for championship play. The fairways were narrow. The rough...
...manage to edge out two boats piloted by the peers, despite getting caught around a buoy and running aground, again. At the end of the race we hadn't capsized, we hadn't come in dead last, and while my boss now knew that I could swear like a sailor, he hadn't fired...
