Augusta red-faced over Klan support.(The Orlando Sentinel)
Byline: Mike Bianchi
ORLANDO _ Running off at the typewriter . . .
Did you see where the Ku Klux Klan is planning a rally during the Masters in support of Augusta National's right to an all-male membership? This has the makings of the most color-coordinated "toonamint" in history: green jackets, white robes, red faces. . . . And if Tiger Woods wins, is Hootie Johnson going to be awakened Sunday night to find a cross burning on Amen Corner? . . . Hey, Tiger, it's time to take a stand_a real stand. . . . The University of Miami baseball team gets whacked with NCAA probation, Georgia's basketball team is accused of breaking the rules and Washington football Coach Rick Neuheisel admits to being a liar. Boy, oh, boy, we need Mr. Rogers now more than ever. Remember what he said: "The greatest gift in the world is your honest self. It's the only unique gift anyone can give." . . .

Mr. Rogers: "All I know to do is to light the candle that has been given to me." . . . Mike Tyson's fight lasted 49 seconds. Don't complain. That's longer than most of his marriages. . . . And I'm not saying Tyson's opponent, Clifford Etienne, was a tomato can, but on the front of his boxing trunks it said, "Delicious spaghetti-sauce recipe on the back." . . . By the way, isn't it time that the nation's sports editors started putting Tyson's fights where they belong_in the middle of the briefs section? . . . New opening for the Gettysburg Address: "Four score and ...
