...Tournament. With brilliant iron shots and steadier putting than has been usual for him, Langer in the last nine holes came from four shots back to win by two. His final total: 282, six under par for the Augusta National course. The lone West German pro on the P.G.A. tour, Langer is the first of his countrymen to win even the German Open. His Masters victory, he hopes, "will inspire some other young boy from Germany to take up the game." For now, though, when asked who the greatest German player in history was, he smiles brightly...
...Mario Puzo sense. Invoking the Borgias, the author portrays the clan as a gang of thieves most at home in the Wild East, a hugger-mugger underworld where dishes were routinely poisoned, enemies buried alive and coffins left on doorsteps.

En route, a rush of striking images flash past: the uprooted Charlie living off the kindness of Southern strangers and being fed, on antebellum verandas, heavy doses of the Bible and the idea of America as the Promised Land; his return to the revolutionary cells...

...political message exactly the opposite of the one its advocates desire. The views of South African blacks are harder to ascertain. Some favor disinvestment but cannot say so publicly because that might violate security laws. Those who have spoken up are generally opposed to it. On a California speaking tour last spring, Bishop Tutu gave many the impression that he favored disinvestment. In Johannesburg after his return, however, he declared, "I am not as yet myself calling for disinvestment...
...tipped to trump that this year. All the more reason, then, to take in the city's fast-fading heritage before it turns to dust. If you have 45 minutes to spare between poker table and roulette wheel, try Walk the Talk Macau, a lively new audio tour accessible via your cell phone. Devised and narrated by former bankers (and Macau aficionados) Stefan White and David Wong, the tour includes many of the city's historic landmarks, from Leal Senado Square to the ruins of St. Paul's, pictured here. You'll learn plenty of trivia (sample: despite omnipresent church...
