In 1986 Jack Nicklaus was 46 and in the sunset of his fabulous career. Nicklaus was six years removed from his last major championship and had won just twice since 1980. So when the Masters got underway at Augusta National, he wasn't given much of a chance, least of all by Atlanta Constitution golf writer Tom McCollister. But when Nicklaus read what McCollister wrote his blood boiled and his competitive hackles rose. What happened in the final round is one of golf's most glorious and improbable legends.…

It’s November 2004 in Siler City North Carolina. Siler City is a small town -- population 7500 -- in the center of the state. Poultry processing drives its economy. Siler City’s high school, Jordan-Matthews, is about to play for the boys state soccer championship. Now, to be clear, high school championship games are commonplace. They happen every year, in 50 states. But this one is different. It’s different because of the coach of the Jordan-Matthews team. His name is Paul Cuadros, and when the 2004 season is over he will write a book about it. Cuadros’ book will be about more than soccer. It will be about the Latino immigration that transformed Siler City, and much of America, at the millennium. It will be about the young Latino immigrants who played on his team. His book will be called “A Home on the Field” and it will provide a window on the issue that most perplexes America in the second decade of the 21st century.…
