...YOUR NETWORK TO STAY UPBEAT Except it wasn't. Ward's skills and what the company needed didn't line up. Intellectually, he knew it was that simple, but the rejection stung, especially coming on the heels of having lost his job the week before. "You've just been told, We don't want you. That has a crushing effect on your soul," says Ward. "Then as you go out and look for a job, most of the jobs you look at you're not going to get. You're going to be told no over and over again...
...Until the crackdown, the spring of 1989 felt like one of those rare moments when it seemed possible to take advantage of the sudden cracks in history in order to reshape it. Many in Hong Kong yearn for that chance again. This spring, during my second extended stay in Hong Kong since I left for California 17 years ago - where the statue's replica still sits on my desk - I went back to that familiar spot by the flagpoles.

"If I had opened a surf shop eight months ago, we would have been out of business right now, no doubt," he says. Instead, Brewer, who also works as a distributor, fields calls for paddleboards from kayak and surf shops all over the country. "They know that's the only thing they can sell right now," says Brewer, who compares the sport's skyrocketing trajectory to snowboarding, which...
...their active ingredients either missing or present in insufficient volumes to be effective - are proving increasingly difficult to discern by IP investigators. "The technology used to copy holograms [on packaging] is so good now that manufacturers have to change them all the time," Gautier said. "It's difficult to stay in front." Gautier also explains that product-counterfeiting, as with legitimate industries, is frequently determined by geography, and some countries have developed expertise in certain products. Cambodia, for instance, is to knockoff name-brand cigarettes what Belgium is to quality chocolates. Malaysia pumps out pirated DVD movies faster than...
