- 431: Tiger Woods
- ... position, time and time again. Another aspect I admire about Tiger is that he represents the minorities in a sport dominated by rich white Americans and Europeans. Since Tiger is half African-American and half-Asian, his impact on the game of golf has been felt. It is not the color of his skin that gets other peoples attention, but it is his great skill playing the game of golf. By winning the 1997 Masters, Tiger not only became the youngest player to win the Masters, but also became the youngest to win a major championship winner of African or Asian heritage. At the age of 21, he shocked the world with his twelve-stroke blowout at the Masters. Nobody expected a young rookie to win the most prestigious tournament on the PGA tour. I believe ...

- 433: John Ford and Frank Capra: A Study of Their Movies
- ... Grapes of Wrath by Ford. America in the 30's was a time of hardship economically, politically and socially.

- ... comes down to his mouth and nothing more. Try describing Chow Yun-Fat to someone who has never seen him on the screen. Comparisons sometimes help, so how about this: Chow Yun-Fat is the Asian Cary Grant.
