Still possessed of the best first serve and the hardest forehand drive in tennis, Vines last week showed signs of having...
...look at a report of the spending on education and say, 'Here, cut it down.' It is up to us to show them that the money has been spent economically. We must have education get the approval it has had all these long years, and carry the burden ourselves rather than criticize those who oppose the spending...
