This week the two greatest golfers in the world, David Duval, 27, and Tiger Woods, 23, will play in the Masters, the greatest of golf tournaments. It offers the tantalizing possibility of a head-to-head shoot-out between two of the game's rocket launchers, and the kind of Jack Nicklaus vs. Arnold Palmer face-off that can make golf absolutely riveting television. Alas, there are eight dozen more golfers in the field. Let's hope they...
...know Tiger, of course. When he won his green jacket in '97--crushing the course and the competition with a 12-stroke margin of victory--he set off a golf boomlet. But this year Woods comes careering through the gates with dented fenders and wheels coming off. Tiger's been losing his temper and his putting stroke.

Hun Sen was doubly happy, he said in his speech, not only because of his daughter's marriage but also because that very day his troops had arrested Ta Mok, the Khmer Rouge leader also known as "the Butcher," the last of the rebel commanders still at large...
...passes for special entertainment such as bands and theme parties. Students say that members usually hang out in their own club since they each have a special character. From Terrace, the artsy, diverse club, to the more pretentious, selective clubs to the more frat-like beer oriented clubs like Tiger Inn (TI), there are options for almost everyone. In addition, each club has a unique atmosphere and history. A popular TI anecdote tells how members destroyed an expensive tree at Cottage, another club, and were going to be held financially responsible. To pay for the tree, they had the choice...
