Generation Tee is of particular interest to tour veteran Tom Kite, 47, who, as captain of this year's 12-man Ryder Cup team, could take as many as six of the kids to Valderrama in Spain the last week of September for the much ballyhooed match between the U.S. and Europe. "No, I don't plan to make them take naps in the afternoon, or anything like that," says Kite. "But I am trying to line up Pampers as an official Ryder Cup sponsor." Seriously, Kite says he's thrilled with the young makeup of his team...
...sudden blossoming of talent? Kite chalks it up to the cyclical nature of the game. "When I won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in '92," says Kite, "it was, 'Oh, no, another 40-year-old wins a major.' There just weren't a lot of 20-year-olds out there at the time." Indeed, golf history seems as well-ordered as Sunday afternoon groupings: Hogan, Nelson and Snead, all born in 1912; Palmer, Player and Nicklaus, winning 10 of 16 majors (1960-63); Watson, Kite and Crenshaw, turning pro one right after the other...
Launching a carrier into this turbulence isn't much more difficult than flying a kite in a hurricane. Yet Martin Shugrue, no stranger to troubled airlines, insists that Pan American World Airways, a new carrier with an old name, can compete as a low-cost, full-service discount carrier. "We'll make money with a high-quality product at an affordable cost," Shugrue says.

...Harrison with the one late Beatle, John Lennon, on a beyond-the-grave ballad, Free as a Bird, and the release of obscure tracks such as the fifth take of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band and the seventh take of Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! By now, it seems, the Beatles' entire recording history has been exhumed and made public, except perhaps for outtakes from Ringo's answering machine. But with the anthologies fading in the rearview mirror, we can finally hear some new music from McCartney. And although his Beatles glory years...
...oppressive, particularly the subtle ways in which Phil--she realizes in retrospect--condescended to her, damaged her self-esteem, made her content to be "the tail to his kite." She never wavered in her devotion to him, however, even when he had an affair with a young Newsweek stringer in the early '60s. By that time, his behavior was becoming more erratic, the result of a manic-depressive disorder that was treated by a psychiatrist who "did more harm than good," she says, recommending existentialist philosophy in lieu of drugs. Finally, on the day he returned home after a stay...
