...Like this: Shortly before 2 p.m. on Thursday, the superstar strode to the first tee as the crowd roared. Call it the roar of nostalgia, for here was the Tiger of memory, just as broad-shouldered and wasp-waisted and carved-marble as ever. They roared again when the announcer declared: "Fore, please.

There was a "Smoke Out the Terrorists" hookah party at Queen's Café in Adams Morgan, where 18-year-olds coughed their way through apple tobacco and lamented Washington's 5-cent tax on plastic bags. Down the street, things got rowdier...
Shortly after 1 p.m. the next day, the hostages heard the roar of the two Russian helicopters. One stayed in the air. The other landed next to a field of coca bushes. Guerrillas in crisp camouflage uniforms stood at attention while two rebels pointed M60 machine guns at the aircraft...
