Certainly Phil Knight, co-founder and chairman of Nike, thinks so. His up-front money offer to Woods, if not equal to Jordan's current compensation from the shoe company, is huge by any standard. In his first pro tournament last week at the Greater Milwaukee Open, Woods showed up with a Nike hat and Nike shirt, while sports television covered every hole of his first day. When a kid becomes a pro, there is always the question of whether he can handle all the attention, let alone the demands of the game. At a press conference after he announced...
...which some experts fear may pack the punch of Hurricane Hugo, is likely to come ashore Thursday afternoon north of Charleston, the same place where Hugo, with its 140 mph winds, hit land with devastating effect in 1989. Fran is as large as Hugo and has the potential to equal its strength as it passes over warm water, the National Hurricane Center said. Hugo caused almost $8 billion in damage and killed 35 people in the Caribbean and the East Coast, with most of the damage in South Carolina. The Federal Emergency Management Agency sent crews to the region, equipped...
Most of the album's songs, written in the '90s, have a time-warp directness that locates them firmly in Clineland. Barnett climbs inside them all, the jingles and the ballads, with equal agility.

The gaudily hyped Olympics were suddenly overcome by their media countershadow--so that the brightness now trails an equal and opposite darkness. Is it that terror and the media were implicated in some interconnected, overcommercialized Heisenberg effect? Did the media focus on the Games invite a terrorist to fasten his fatal attention where the lights were brightest? Perhaps. (On the other hand, the Ku Klux Klan in Georgia and elsewhere carried...
ATLANTA: An arbitrator's decision and a miscalculation kept Janet Evans from equaling Bonnie Blair's American record of five Olympic gold medals. Evans failed to qualify in the 400-meter freestyle final on Monday, when she was edged out by an Irish swimmer allowed to compete at the last minute after a protest led by the United States failed. Michelle Smith, who already won the gold in the 400 individual medley, was allowed in the race by the Court of Arbitration for Sport despite missing the July 5 deadline to qualify for the games by one day. Smith qualified...
