...present at award shows and pose for laddie magazines. She turned down dozens of endorsement contracts. She did ink nine deals with the likes of Motorola, Nike, Colgate-Palmolive and Canon that with her court winnings amount to more than $20 million in annual income. But her agent, Max Eisenbud, and a 25-person "Team Sharapova" at sports-rep firm IMG gave the corporate sponsors just three weeks this year with...
...Freddy Adu, who just turned 14. (Nike will not confirm exact figures.) He has been hailed as the next Renaldo--and maybe even Pele--but for now he's the rising star of the U.S. under-17 team. "Nike builds brands around star athletes," says IMG sports agent Max Eisenbud. "There is a reason they're getting involved with this kid. If he dominates the sport at 17, it's not a big investment." Two years ago Nike signed tennis prodigy Brendan Evans, now 17, for $250,000, and Russian tennis ace Maria Sharapova, 16, pocketed $750,000 from Prince...

Neither does the posited gimmick explain certain notable examples of Serios's pictures described...
...with the aid of a camera and a darkroom always at the ready, Serios might have been able to create first on a tiny transparent positive print (though even here the question arises: Could Serios have carried on this sort of minor photoraphic cottage industry without being detected by Eisenbud, with whom he was in constant, daily contact in Denver? If not, then again it is a question of either collusive hoax or genuine talent, with no middle ground apparent.). But far too many of the thoughtographs are are either impossible to duplicate at all (if this could even...
