Though not commonly perceived as the type of athletes who attract groupies, golfers do have their fans, and, apparently, they don't all wear plaid. Last week during the first round of the British Open, TIGER WOODS got an eyeful on the 18th hole when an enthusiastic onlooker with seemingly few body-image issues sprang from the crowd to demonstrate her admiration. The unidentified woman embraced and kissed the not entirely reluctant golfer before running off. "Luckily, she didn't have a lot on," said a relieved Woods, "because if someone comes out of the stands like that...
...President of Afghanistan in his own palace and would strike deep inside Western Europe if a new world war broke out. This has changed. The most popular video in Russia last year was Schizophrenia. An unremittingly bleak portrayal of modern Russia, it tells the story of a Spetsnaz-type officer who is framed by the security police and then forced to assassinate a banker planning a run against the incumbent President. The officer carries out the murder and is later eliminated by state-security thugs. Many Russians find the film plausible. Over the past year, for example, a number...
...fecklessness as a habitually lapsing moderate (the steaks, the ice creams, the occasional cigar) would hardly account for two heart attacks and two multiple coronary bypasses by the time I had plateaued into middle age.

The work I'm doing now is forming stronger and broader foundations in an industry I hadn't really considered. I once thought...
...think everyone sensed that this type of product was going to be cheaper - and better - in the near future," he says. "Iridium costs something like $2,000 up front and $7 a minute - they?re having too much trouble attracting subscribers." Mass-market appeal may have been doomed by a rather shocking deficiency: the phones don?t work inside buildings and in urban areas. So Iridium has been forced to rejigger its target audience from globe-trotting yuppies with big egos and bigger expense accounts to a decidedly different niche: mariners, oil-rig workers and the military. That glamour hemorrhage...
