Coming out crazy

Article Abstract:

The former mental patient was originally labeled schzoiphrenic in 1960 when she was 12 years old for symptoms which today would be considered normal adolescent behavior. Now, at age 50, after 38 years of psychotherapy, shock treatments and drugs, she has taken control of her histrionic personality and was awarded a 1998 Courage to Come Back Award by the Toronto's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Foundation.

Having a golf ball

Article Abstract:

A typical five-hour round of golf during vacation gives a golfer a chance to relax and to discover a region's natural geography. The golfer may also meet fellow tourists and locals who are better able to give an insider's guide of where to shop, dine and sightsee. Golf packages which offer great value include Playa Grande in the Dominican Republic.
