Child selectors are what you are looking for:

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#child-selectors

Browser support is splotchy though.  There are a couple other options:

1.  If you can promise that all possible links below a toplevel LI are
within their own UL, then you could define the following:

li.toplevel ul a {color:#fff;}

2. Override the color declaration in the navMenu class.  Make sure the
navMenu class is defined AFTER the toplevel class.

Best of luck,
