...brave investors need only to take a deep breath and assume that the future is still bright for Google. Brin and Page won't offer much in the way of assurances because they haven't a clue about what the future holds. That might not be what Wall Street wants to hear, but the founders don?t seem to care. They?d rather mint money by trusting their gut. So far, so good: they?ve made billions, retained control of their company, and kept the investment bankers at bay.

When he started out, most kids were 12 when they were picked by talent scouts for municipal-level sports academies. "Today, children must start, at the very latest, at six years old," he says. "Otherwise it's too late." To increase the level of play, China lowered...

The factories disguise the contents of containers with foodstuffs or other consumer products like lingerie. For those brave enough to risk it, it's a spectacular investment, with as much as a 1,000% return--better than drug trafficking. A 40-ft. container filled with fake bags can turn a profit of $2 million to $4 million. And counterfeiters save the roughly 50% of that revenue that luxury houses...
