...America's best-selling German auto, the Volkswagen. Though VW builds cars in the U.S., its American production is in jeopardy because key parts must come from Germany. The company's plant in New Stanton, Pa., has been gearing up for a planned November introduction of the Golf (expected price range: $7,500 to $11,500), a restyled and renamed version of the slow-selling Rabbit. But unless the German metalworkers go back to work within two weeks, the Golf may be delayed, and the 2,700 workers at the New Stanton factory could face extended layoffs...
...shot making at Winged Foot last week was only remarkable, the towel waving memorable. Fuzzy Zoeller signaled mock surrender to Greg Norman at the fieriest moment of a U.S. Open Sunday, and when the heat was off in their 18-hole playoff the following day, Norman waved back. Golf may be "a rude game," as Zoeller says, but golfers almost unfailingly display a grace under pressure that used to be the definition of heroism. From Yankee Stadium to Wimbledon, the phrase has pretty much abandoned sport...
Zoeller is right about the game's impolite tendencies. Ten years ago, venerable Winged Foot in Mamaroneck, N.Y., was outfitted by the United States Golf Association as retaliation for Johnny Miller's final 63 in the previous Open.

Making a 68-ft. putt without trying to, Zoeller took a three-stroke lead on the second hole. Norman three-putted three of the first five, and the most meaningful championship in golf turned into a brisk 3-hr. 15-min. walk. When Zoeller missed a birdie putt near the close of his handsome 67, Norman in jest made the sort of choking sign that professional basketball players flash to each other in earnest. Then he went to his own ball. "Knock it in," Fuzzy said softly...
...Noticing that tennis nets on public courts were often in tatters, the fledgling entrepreneur loaded 100 new nets into his Volkswagen van and set out on his first sales trip, returning a few weeks later with a $4,000 profit. Today, BSN markets more than 2,000 items, including golf clubs and tennis wear, and its payroll has blossomed from 21 workers to 250 in the past five years. Says Blumenfeld: "One of our biggest problems is holding on to secretaries and accountants, because they are needed all over town...
