• Royalty and Golf: Rank Still Has Privileges

  The world is perceived as growing more democratic each day.

  This one’s for me. I love the sports scene in the state of Oregon.

  Every walk of life has its legends, its superstars and its founders. In time, they leave us, and the effect is the same for the devotees of that pursuit.

• Christina Kim: On Being Korean

  Christina Kim: On Being Korean As a colorful presence on the LPGA stage (and everywhere else), the persona and play of Christina Kim is interesting enough.
