Augusta National, site of yearly protests surrounding its famous Masters golf tourney because the club holds no women members, finally has invited two (not exactly typical folks)--Condi Rice and a South Carolina financier. They have accepted. Statement: “These accomplished women share our passion for the game of golf and both are well known and respected by our membership. It will be a proud moment when we present Condoleezza and Darla their green jackets when the club opens this fall." The club had no black members until 1990.
