...After beating back the youth at Winged Foot Thursday with birdies on the last three holes and a 4-under-par 66, perennial comeback-story Jon Daly faces a tough time staying on top. After the round, the Sisyphean Betty Ford grad said winning it all would be "a shock." Can Daly, the man who walked out of the U.S. Open midround, possibly keep...
...Picking a winner in the PGA Championship: don't trust anyone over 30. Golf's youth movement goes for the Slam with Woods, Els, and Leonard each looking for their second majors starting Thursday at Winged Foot. The early favorite: 27-year-old Phil Mickelson...

The films also showcase future stars, like Rogers, perky and alluring from the start, and Cary Grant, who made his movie debut in Chang's Singapore Sue. Some stars Hollywood couldn't figure out. Merman, setting a torch to After You're Gone in Be Like Me, is tough, sexy, charismatic--a singing Stanwyck. But film musical heroines were soft creatures...
