I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

Nicklaus, Palmer christen new Michigan course
By MIKE HOUSEHOLDER
Associated Press Writer
BENTON HARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Four of the biggest names in the history of golf are playing a round together to commemorate the opening of a new course located in one of Michigan's most impoverished communities.
Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Johnny Miller teed off Tuesday morning along Lake Michigan in Benton Harbor, site of the Nicklaus-designed Golf Club at Harbor Shores.
The par-71 course is the centerpiece of a 530-acre resort that eventually will include 800 residences, a deep water marina and shops and restaurants.
The 18-hole scramble is a skins match. Nicklaus says it is an opportunity to highlight how golf can help with "social and economic revitalization."
Don't tell me the game's getting stimulus money!
