...Young Massie, now 18, is a freshman at Princeton. The disease has permanently damaged his knees, and he must use an electric cart to get around at college. But he has served as an aide to Scoop Jackson in the Senate, learned to fly, swims more than 1,500 yds. a day in college, working out regularly with the swimming team. Journey makes hauntingly clear that Bobby's spirit is intact. In a post script the boy rejects the suggestion, sometimes made to him, that his or deal has been a blessing in disguise...
...just spent 31 days as a captive after his abduction during a traffic jam near Rome's Via Veneto. Last week Bulgari, 40, lighter by 20 lbs. and a little over $2 million in ransom, was found tied hand and foot in a stolen Fiat less than 500 yds. from his home in the luxurious Parioli district. He had spent the past month locked in a 6-ft. square cell, he told police, and could not identify his captors. After two days of seclusion, the gaunt businessman emerged to correct reports that his ransom had been a record...
HOLE 10: 485 yds., par four (average score: 4.34). This is one of the holes that make Augusta National a long-driver's course. You've got to flirt with the trees on the left, but gently. Too much left and you're in the woods. The ideal tee shot is a low, running draw that goes slightly left of center in order to catch a steep slope tilting toward the green, leaving you a two-or three-iron home. If you fade your drive to the right, you've got an impossible downhill-sidehill shot...
HOLE 11: 445 yds., par four (average score: 4.32). Here you really want to crank it up because your drive has to carry the crest of a hill. It's another hole favoring the big hitter, and your tee shot should be dead straight-the hardest kind of golf shot to hit. But it's the second shot that's the real tester here, 185-200 yds. if the pin is placed on the back edge of the green or to the left near the pond. But forget the pin placement and always -I mean always...
HOLE 12: 155 yds., par three (average score: 3.36). I agree with Arnold Palmer that this is the toughest par three in golf. It hurts more of us in Masters play than any other hole on the course. First you've got to keep reminding yourself that the wind may blow from behind you off the tee, but you can be sure it's against you at the green. If it's a choice between a six-and seven-iron off the tee, always grab for the six-iron so you can clear the creek. The right...
