The U.S. Golf Association is holding the U.S. Open Tournament this week at the Merion Golf Club which happens to be located about 1-1/2 miles from our home. The Association is currently having a public relations effort to speed up play and their motto is a line uttered by Rodney Dangerfield in the film "Caddyshack". R.D.s partner was fidgeting and waggling over his tee shot when Dangerfield yelled to him "Let's go - while we're young!"
In Boston this week the trial is under way of the notorious James "Whitey" Bulger on a raft of charges. One observer said he expected him to use what he called the "Irish Alzheimer's defense. That's where you forget everything but the names of your enemies."
You Francophile observers may remember D.S.K. who lost his job as Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund for his sex-capades in hotel rooms and participating in dubious parties.
He has insisted that he was unaware that prostitutes had attended the parties and argued that lust is not a crime! NYT 6/12/13.
