From Times Staff and Wire Reports

President Clinton helped Martha’s Vineyard Hospital raise $54,000 in charitable contributions by playing golf. “Oh no!” he cried when his first shot went awry. “Whoa, Mama!” he shouted on a drive later in the game. Clinton participated in the hospital’s eighth annual golf tournament with Washington powerbroker Vernon E. Jordan Jr., who headed Clinton’s post-election transition to the White House, as well as Assistant Atty. Gen. Webster Hubbell, and Sheldon Hackney, head of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The event raised $54,000, the best year on record. Clinton is on the island on a 10-day vacation.
