Woods] can recover seems to me depends on<BR>his faith. He is said to be
a Buddhist. I don't think that faith offers<BR>the kind of forgiveness and

would be, 'Tiger, turn to the Christian faith<BR>and you can make a total
recovery and be a great example to the world."<BR><BR>- Brit Hume (January 3,
