NEW YORK - Martha Burk plans to expand her campaign against Augusta National and CBS by contending that televising the event from an all-male golf club ``is an insult to the nearly quarter million women in the U.S. armed forces.'' <br>
<br>
Burk -- chairwoman of the National Council of Women's Organizations -- plans to protest the club's membership policy during the third round of the Masters on April 12 at Augusta. <br>
<br>
Along with New York City council member Gale A. Brewer, Burk scheduled a news conference tomorrow to ask CBS to cancel its Masters coverage. <br>
<br>
Burk's remarks Tuesday came as U.S. troops moved closer to Baghdad in the war against Iraq.
