Saturday Misc.

The drum beat grows louder? Is 21 a bust when it comes to drinking? Lawmakers in seven states are actively considering legislation that would lower the legal drinking age.

Three hundred and thirty yards of Magnolia Lane [http://www.masters.org/en_US/course/video_tour.html?targetLink=/media/video/Mag_lane_founders_03.11.2008_320x240.flv] , Jack Nicklaus, staring down Martha Burk and her (snicker) 24 fellow protesters, Amen Corner, the Green Jacket, and Tiger Woods amazingly
