there are so many choice quotes in here, but for me, the brief chaos of a moment where Gary Player, unprompted, decides to pull out unknowable handwritten materials from a jacket pocket would have sent a lightning bolt through my chest
Maria Jose Marin’s 10-year-old brother, Emilio, walked every step of Saturday’s final round at Augusta National wearing a Masters backpack that was almost bigger than he was.
“The trophy will fit in here,” he said early on the second nine.
Surely, Emilio believed, his sister would do her part.
She did.
After winning @anwagolf, Marin grabbed Emilio’s hand and together they walked through the sea of patrons to scoring.
Emilio, his backpack still strapped on, would soon get his chance to see if he was right.
Place-based stigma, or neighborhood stigma, is a phenomenon where specific locations are labeled as undesirable, high-risk, or deprived, often leading to a REDUCTION in property values and creating opportunities for investors to PURCHASE LAND CHEAPLY. This stigma can be induced or reinforced by official labeling, such as police reports classifying areas as "vulnerable" or "disadvantaged," which can result in a 3.6% to 6.5% decrease in housing prices.

By 1955 he’s moving fast in everything. Acting, driving, living. No separation.
Buys a Porsche 550. Starts racing for real. Warner Bros. tells him to slow down while Giant is still being made.
He doesn’t.
Gets pulled over earlier that same day for speeding. He never slows down.
September 30, 1955. Near Cholame. A car turns left.
Fatal Impact.
He was 24.
Thing is only East of Eden had been released.
Rebel Without a Cause wasn’t out yet. Giant wasn’t out yet.
The version of James Dean everyone thinks they know hadn’t even reached them.
No second phase.
No cleanup.
No older version explaining any of it.
He stays right there.
Unfinished. Hard to read. Still in motion.
That’s why he stuck.
Because he never had time to be corrected.
Three films.
One life cut mid-sentence and the country’s been trying to finish it ever since.
It’s Waste Management Open week here in the Valley, and I feel obliged to once again post Spencer Hall’s 2018 feature on the Open. It’s writing that absolutely captures the soul of the event, if there is one to be captured. https://t.co/saDB0rWZ5g
