...first of his three straight U.S. Amateur titles, but there were volleyball players who were better known on campus. Woods loved it. "Anonymity was one of the best things about being at Stanford," he says. "I was sort of a lower-tier athlete." One college roommate, Yves Zinggeler, remembers that Woods "was a humorous guy who liked to have fun and go out on weekends"; he dated a couple of women, but "he wasn't a skirt chaser." He watched The Simpsons religiously and cued up videotapes of PGA tournaments. He made his bed, of course; but as a sophomore...

...immediate challenge for LVMH will be to squeeze more revenue out of its new, high-priced brands while retaining the luxe quality for which those brands are renowned. The specter of overlicensing haunts the fashion industry today, just as it did in the 1970s, when designers Pierre Cardin and Yves Saint Laurent weren't paying attention to where their names appeared and let their logos turn up everywhere, from discount pharmacies to five-and-tens...
