From the rain forest of Guadal to the hell-hot coral of Peleiu, the first division, U.S. Marines were there. Here is their own storyâ€”as real as the mud and blood they slogged through and the unmarked graves where some of their bravest now rest.

"The Guards, a body of some 5500 officers and men whose special task it is to protect the British sovereign are the oldest and perhaps the most unusual military instititution in the West. They are not just gorgeously caparisoned performers marching up and down outside the royal palaces in London and Windsor...they are also a highly disciplined and versatile military formation, found wherever the British army is called upon to soldier, from the jungles of Central America to the mean streets of Belfast."Many color photographs.

Few countries have such a clear signature as Spain. The mere sight of its name conjures up sunlight and beaches, flamenco dancers and bullfights, castles and cathedrals, and a proud people with a long, tempestuous history.

The great links of Ireland, even more so than those of Scotland, suggest that if God had elected another profession than deity, he could surely have made it as a golf architect. There is a magical, natural, deistic aspect to these Irish courses that one feels as much as sees. Another factor, which Edgeworth's photographs perfectly get: in Ireland, one feels the nearness, the presence, of the sea more dramatically you might say viscerally than on comparable Scottish or English links. It's always there, frequently ferocious, always breathtaking.

About "Racquet and Tennis Club"The Racquet and Tennis Club is a private social club and athletic club located at 370 Park Avenue, between East 52nd and 53rd Streets, New York, New York. =Club=Unlike many other private clubs that once catered exclusively to men and now admit women, the Racquet and Tennis has held fast to its men-only membership policy. (Women are welcome at club social events, however.) Its ancestor, The Racquet Court Club, opened in 1876 at 55 West 26th Street with only a racquets court. The second club house at 27 West 43rd Street (1891) had one racquets court and one real tennis court. The club moved to the Park Avenue home in 1918. In 1987, the club famously refused to allow Evelyn David (who was, obviously, not a member of the club) to train for the Women's World Tennis Championship, citing its men-only rules. At the time, Ms. David was considered by several leading members of the club to be in the top six or seven female court tennis players in the United States. Club professionals have been world champions in both racquets and real tennis. The most famous was Pierre Etchebaster, Real Tennis World Champion (1928-1956). Neil Smith was World Racquets Singles Champion (1999-2001), and World Doubles Champion (1992-2001). James Stout recently captured the Rackets World Champion moniker with a resounding victory over Harry Foster. Tim Chisholm (partnered by Julian Snow) won the Real Tennis Doubles World Championship in 2001. the Source of this site's article: WikipediaText is available under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC-BY-SA)and/or GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL).
