     didn't teach her how to handle it" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 2/21).
     ....ESPN's JOHN FEINSTEIN, on TIGER WOODS: "What was Tiger
     doing in Thailand and Australia the last two weeks.  Answer:
     Picking up huge appearance fees.  Question: Why does this
     kid need one more dollar than he already has.  Answer:
     Greed.  That's why athletes call IMG, Woods' management
     company, I Am Greedy.  This is how IMG and agents everywhere
     constantly burn athletes out -- chasing the money.  Tiger
     Woods needs to chase money about as much as he needs another
     swoosh on his hideously overswooshed golf clothes" ("The
