2010-08-21 Stray Questions for: Roy Peter Clark - Paper Cuts Blog

Most of the writers I know love short forms. An epitaph is a short form: To know him was to love him. The haiku is way shorter than 140 characters. Decades ago, the telegram ruled. Some of the most famous could serve as mini-literature.

That doesnt mean a return to the top of professional golf would be easy. The main difference for Woods in any comeback is that there are a whole lot more players out there now who actually believe they have a chance to beat him.
