WASHINGTON — United in response to a na- tional uproar, Congress is suddenly moving quickly to address military veter- ans’ long waits for care at VA hospitals. The House unanimously approved legislation Tues- day to make it easier for patients enduring lengthy delays for initial visits to get VA-paid treatment from local doctors instead. The Senate was poised to vote on a similar bill within 48 hours, said Dem- ocratic leader Harry Reid.

PINEHURST, N.C. — Phil Mick- elson spent five hours in the stifling heat Tuesday at Pinehurst No. 2 with a lot on his mind. He was trying to sharpen his game, figure out what it will take to finally win a U.S. Open and make enough putts with his claw grip to avoid losing to a pair of players whose combined age is younger than him. This major has a reputation as the toughest test in golf. It’s every bit of that for Mickelson. “I really believe that this week is testing a player’s entire game,” Mickelson said. “Because it forces you to make good decisions, to choose the right club off the tee, hit solid iron shots into the green and utilize your short game to save strokes. It’s just a wonderful test ... the best test I’ve seen to identify the best player.” His definition of Pinehurst and its rugged, natural look would seem to require every ounce of concentration. And that could be his biggest challenge.

One is a reading raffle: Each week, kids can fill out a raffle slip if they’ve read a book and potentially win a bike at the end of the summer (“graciously donated by the Homosassa Walmart,” Goshorn said). Students do not need a valid Citrus County Library card to enter. Another promotion is “Reading with the Rays,” in which students get a game card that has reading goals corresponding to bases on a baseball diamond. “If they make it to home base, they can win a ticket for a Rays home game,” Goshorn said.
