Granik's recent comments that the CBA with players was "98 to 99

process.  Strickland, who called the league's lawsuit against the
union and six key agents "ridiculous":  "As we all know, things
that are agreed to verbally don't always work out the same way
when two sides try to sit down and write the agreement. ... It's
just that the players are taking a firm stance in how things are
traded off" (Frank Hughes, WASHINGTON TIMES, 3/26)....The AHL has
surpassed the 3 million mark in league attendance for the second
straight year and is on pace to break last year's record

Senior PGA Tour is weighing a move of the Liberty Mutual Legends
of Golf from PGA West in La Quinta, CA, to FL -- possibly as soon
as '97 (USA TODAY, 3/26).
