"THE ROUGH IS ONLY MENTAL. In other words," he continued, "it is rough because you think it is. In your mind, you have decided that here is an obstacle which will cause you difficulty. The power to overcome this obstacle is in your mind. If you visualize yourself lifting that ball out of the rough, believing you can do it, your mind will transfer flexibility, rhythem, and power to your muscles and you will handle that club in such a manner that the ball will rise right out of there in a beautiful shot. All you need to do is to keep your eye on the ball and tell yourself that you are going to lift it out of that grass with a lovely stroke. Let the stiffness and tension go out of you. Hit it with exhiliration and power. Remember, the rough is only mental."

ACTRESS EMILY MORTIMER ON MOVING from London to the United States:

"I was forced to take myself seriuosly for the first time, because not taking yourself seiously out here just doesn't compute. When I first arrived, I got chatting to this producer at a party. He asked me what I did and I said 'Oh, I'm an actress' - and you just hate hearing yourself say those words because its such a fucking cliche. So I said, 'But I'm not a very good one.' It totally freaked him out, as if I'd said, 'I eat babies.'"

"WHENEVER YOU GO OUT-OF-DOORS, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in the sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies. Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do; and then, without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal. Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do, and then, as the days go gliding away, you will find yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunities that are required for the fulfillment of your desire, just as the coral insect takes from the running tide the element it needs. Picture in your mind the able, earnest, useful person you desire to be, and the thought you hold is hourly transforming you into that particular individual.... to think rightly is to create..."

THE VIADUCT OF MILLAU opened last December. Designed by British architect Norman Foster, it is the tallest bridge in the world and is more than 50 feet higher than the Eiffel Tower. Millau, France has a population of approximately 22,000. The town was a traffic nightmare before the bridge opened - now a 15-mile stretch of the valley that once took three hours to drive is now only 20 minutes. The bridge is one of the finest accomplishments in civil engineering.

"SREBRENICA, Bosnia and Herzegovina, July 11 - American and European leaders attending a ceremony on Monday marking the 10th anniversary of the execution of more than 7,000 Muslim men and boys here during the war in Bosnia promised that two Bosnian Serb leaders indicted for the killings would be brought to justice.

"At a somber ceremony under a gray sky that sprinkled rain on diplomats, mourners and graves, British and United Nations officials apologized for the failure of foreign powers to protect the town.

"The American representative at the ceremony, Pierre-Richard Prosper, the United States ambassador at large for war crimes, said he was attending the ceremony with "deep reflection." But he offered no apologies for the fall of the town. . . ."

"MR. BLAIR WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL in his broader effort to persuade the United States to set a timetable for increasing its overall foreign aid to a level equal to 0.7 percent of national income by 2015. That step would require a much larger contribution by the United States, which currently provides 0.16 percent, the smallest percentage of any of the Group of 8 countries. Europe agreed to a timetable, but Mr. Bush would not."
