Once there was a mountain. She stood strong and proud. She was covered with huge trees. Monkeys, birds, and insects played among the branches of the trees. Bees made their hives high on the branches too. Ferns and creepers grew on the trees. The air was cool and pure. The rain brought fresh water. The water was clean and clear. The rivers and waterfalls had their homes here. The rivers were full of fish. The forest people lived on...more

The Berlin Wall, located in Berlin, Germany, was a system of concrete walls, barb-wire fence, checkpoints, and control posts that was designed to stop residents of East Berlin from going into West Berlin. After the defeat of the Nazis in World War II, Germany found itself occupied by the Allied forces of the Soviet Union, United States, Great Britain and France. Germany was split in half, one side controlled by Soviet forces that was put into a communist regime while the other half was occupied by the other three countries and was allowed to form their own government. This was also the case of the city of Berlin.By the beginning of the 1960s, thousands of East Berlins were crossing into the west part of the city. They were fleeing from the repressions in the communist-controlled East Berlin to a comparatively democratic and progressive West Berlin. The Berlin Wall was put up by East Germany or German Democratic Republic (GDR) to stop the mass exodus. The Berlin Wall was improved and strengthened from 1961 to 1975 to stop further crossings into West Berlin.The fall of the Berlin Wall began in the late 1980s when the Soviet Union began to lose its once feared might. Once by one,...more

Whenever someone does something really big in sports for the first time -- whether it's the Stanley Cup or the French Open -- everyone wants to know how it feels. Most of the time the person says it hasn't sunk in yet, or something along those lines. Having won the Masters, I understand why. Things happen so fast and the intensity of the moment is so great, it's hard to remember your name, let alone describe what it's like having your dream come true, or what it means to you. Well, it's been nearly two months since that amazing day at Augusta, and I guess it has finally sunk in that I am a Masters Champion. Hearing that on the first tee Thursday at the U.S. Open will be a thrill. Winning hasn't changed me, but it has changed things. From a golfing perspective I can feel the difference as I get ready to play in my first major championship as a major champion. In other years I would come to the U.S. Open, play my practice rounds, talk to reporters down from Canada and from Utah and maybe a few others, and otherwise go about my business. This year I'm on the cover of Golf Magazine, I have a press conference today and there's just generally more demands on my time. It's a...more
