Their habitat - big-ticket, fine-dining restaurants - shrinks every year, encroached upon by gourmet hamburger joints, taco stands and various other chic, no-frills eateries.

Well, that was pretty fast. In December, when Tiger Woods announced he was taking an indefinite leave of absence from golf to try to repair his marriage to Elin Nordegren, breathless speculators figured he'd probably have to skip a whole year. After all, he had inflicted plenty of damage and had taken quite a hit himself. (See a brief history of the Tiger Woods scandal...
