  Way of a Rebel by Walter M. Miller - No one knows the heart of a rebel until his own search for the reason of right or wrong is made. Lieutenant Laskell found the answer to his own personal rebellion deep beneath a turbulent Atlantic, and somehow, when the time came, his decision wasn't too difficult... 
  Lieutenant Laskell surfaced his one-man submarine fifty miles off the Florida coast where he had been patrolling in search of enemy subs. Darkness had fallen. He tuned his short wave set to the Miami station just in time to hear the eight o'clock news. The grim announcement that he had expected was quick to come: 
  "In accordance with the provisions of the Twenty-Sixth Amendment, Congress today approved the Manlin Bill, declaring a state of total emergency for the nation. President Williston signed it immediately and tendered his resignation to the Congress and the people. The executive, legislative, and judiciary are now in the hands of the Department of Defense. Secretary Garson has issued two decrees, one reminding all citizens that they are no longer free to shirk their duties to the nation, the other calling upon the leaders of the Eurasian Soviet to cease air attacks on the American continent or suffer the consequences. 
  "In Secretary Garson's ultimatum to the enemy, he stated: 'Heretofore we have refrained from employing certain weapons of warfare in the vain hope that you would recognize the futility of further aggression and desist from it. You have not done so. You have persisted in your blood-thirsty folly, despite this nation's efforts to reach an agreement for armistice. Therefore I am forced to command you, in the Name of Almighty God, to surrender immediately or be destroyed. I shall allow you one day in which to give evidence of submission. If such evidence is not forthcoming, I shall implement this directive by a total attack...."

  Golf is a sport deeply rooted in tradition and technique, making it essential to build a solid foundation before advancing to more complex skills. Understanding the basics ensures you not only enjoy the game but also improve steadily over time. 
  To begin, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the history of golf and how it has evolved into the game we know today. Golf’s origins date back several centuries, with Scotland being widely regarded as the birthplace of the modern game. Knowing this background fosters an appreciation for the traditions and etiquette that define the sport. 
  Equipping yourself with the right gear is another key step in mastering the basics. Golf clubs come in a variety of types, including drivers, irons, wedges, and putters, each designed for specific shots. Understanding their functions and learning how to select the right club for each situation can significantly impact your game. Beyond clubs, you’ll also need to consider golf balls, shoes, gloves, and apparel suited to different weather conditions. 
  Rules and etiquette form the backbone of golf, emphasizing respect for the game, the course, and fellow players. Learning the rules is not only about avoiding penalties but also about ensuring smooth and enjoyable play. Key principles include maintaining pace of play, repairing divots, and marking your ball on the green. Golf etiquette highlights the importance of courtesy, such as remaining quiet during another player’s swing and waiting your turn to hit.
