Part of Europeans' gains have been wiped out by their higher taxes; a typical Belgian family earning $56,000 will keep no more than $32,000. But though their taxes are generally lower, Americans must shell out more of their incomes for medical and educational expenses, both of which are largely free in Europe. The net result is that many Europeans end up with somewhat fatter disposable incomes than Americans but they also face generally much higher prices. So how do they do it? How do they afford the rows of doubled-parked Mercedes and BMWs and the expensive...
...where Western Avenue ends, and you can follow this grand river in either direction. Towards Boston and the ocean it widens, a polluted but still grand expanse dotted on breezy days with the flash o sails. Walk the other way, and you're back to Harvard, Tech Hifi and Belgian Fudge...
George still lives in the same house in Beverly Hills he and Gracie bought 44 years ago.

Tanner's appearance in the finals was not altogether popular, since his triumph in the semifinals came at the expense of the tournament's giant killer: Pat DuPre, 24, a lanky (6 ft. 2½ in., 180 Ibs.) Belgian-born Alabaman who now lives in La Jolla, Calif. Ranked a lowly 28th in the U.S., DuPre tiptoed into the first round and ambushed fourth-seeded Vitas Gerulaitis, 24. "I consider myself basically a pretty horrendous grass player," DuPre said afterward. Four matches later, in one of the most uproarious...
