...Harvard at the start of the 1970s, I knew that Allston was there, somewhere, out beyond the football stadium. I just never went there. That seems odd, now that I’ve lived in Allston for nearly 30 years, because it’s actually a very short walk. I frequently visit the libraries, the museums, and the film archive. But from the Allston side Harvard can be a forbidding presence. The fields are fenced, the Harvard Business School turns a cold shoulder toward us, and the river houses are locked tight.

...expected to be offended than for any real hurt feelings. Sure, I would not take kindly to whites calling me "nigger" - just as black audience members didn't take kindly to Michael Richards' recent racist rant - but I also wouldn't assume that I'd be able to walk into a honky-tonk bar and address the patrons as white trash.

On the wall, someone has painted a big pair of scissors as if to say: Cut along the dotted Line. If only it were that easy...
...centers to give mere mortals the same in-depth analysis and custom fitting that are available to tour pros. But increasingly, golf manufacturers are realizing that opening their knowledge vault to a wider audience not only makes good marketing sense (can any avid golfer visit a clubmaker and not walk away with at least one new toy?) but also allows hackers to improve their game quickly. In January, Callaway, based in Carlsbad, Calif., introduced its VIP Experience, a two-day golf immersion and pampering program featuring the experts who work with Phil Mickelson and the LPGA's Annika Sorenstam...
Down the coast, Callaway offers a similar "nothing but golf" experience for corporate groups, catering to everyone from the beginner to the low handicapper. Program director Randy Peterson has fitted Charles Howell III as well as Mickelson and Sorenstam. On Day One, golfers walk through four stations: simulated-swing analysis in a testing bay, putting evaluation, live-swing analysis with Peterson on the range, and wedge work with clubmaking legend Roger Cleveland. Proprietary software even adjusts for hometown conditions. "We can look at your drive here and tell you that you'll get 14 yards more carry on that same...
