...kids on the tour, thoughts of retirement are worth a giggle. Pressel had other issues. The week after her big victory, she played poorly--Lincicome won the Ginn Open. But one bad week isn't going to set her back. "That girl is tougher than a nickel steak," says golf pro McNamara. And so is Boss Bivens. They are ready to tee up a new game...

Ask Zhou, or any of the other street vendors in Shanghai, Beijing or anywhere else in China. "Competition has never been tougher," Li Haihua told me as he did a brisk business selling brand new American-made films for five RMB apiece (the equivalent of about 60 cents) on Huaihai Street in central Shanghai, not five minutes from one of the big anti-piracy billboards.
