Tiger Woods, one year on - wiser, humbler and no longer a saviour
Article Abstract:
The fact that Tiger Woods did not win the 1998 Masters can be seen as being of benefit to golf in general. Woods was widely acclaimed when he won the 1997 Masters, but it did not take long for negative comments to start being made about him. Whites regarded him as an ungrateful black who had too high an opinion of himself, while blacks saw him as having committed treachery against his race. However, golf is a great leveller, and it is now becoming possible to get Woods into perspective. He has boosted the drawing power of golf, even though he was not won a tournament for some time.

Clark Clifford
Article Abstract:
Lawyer and presidential adviser Clark Clifford studied at law school in St Louis, MO, and joined a local law firm. He rapidly became one of the leading attorneys in St Louis, but enlisting in the US Naval Reserve changed the course of his career. He was posted to Washington as assistant to Harry Vardaman in 1945, and in 1946 succeeded Vardaman as naval aide. He was involved in the discussions which led to the Marshall Plan, and helped draw up the 1947 National Security Act. He was US Secretary for Defense between 1968 and 1969.

Abortion threatens disaster for Republicans
Article Abstract:
The Republican party had decided to accept differences of opinion within its ranks over abortion, in order to avoid damaging splits over this issue. However, it now appears that abortion will once again cause problems. Pat Buchanan has threatened to leave the party if it takes a more liberal line on abortion, and this would severely damage Bob Dole, who is likely to be the party's presidential candidate. Some key figures in the party are prepared to stand up to Buchanan.
