...newest star on the U.S. tennis horizon is a 20-year-old Cincinnati boy named Marion Anthony (Tony) Trabert. Already this year he has twice beaten the U.S. champion, Art Larsen-once on clay (in the final of the National Clay Court championship) and last week at Southampton, on grass, the more significant surface (because all top tournaments are played on grass courts). Said Frank Shields, the non-playing Davis Cup captain : "If Trabert progresses as much during the next four weeks, he's going to be a world beater. He whips a cross court shot very much like...
...quick footwork of a basketball player (which he is), and an ambition to become the world's best player. Trabert owes much of his fine game, and his determination to make it the finest, to his friend and doubles partner Bill Talbert, a New Yorker who hails from Cincinnati himself.

His group had once opposed a national retail sales tax because they thought it would hurt their business. But now, Lebor told the committee, which is considering the pending tax bill (TIME, June 25), retailers want Congress to pass a retail sales tax. They think it would hurt them-and the rest of business-less than the sky-high corporate and individual rates in the pending bill. The new rates...
Reaver set out to change the state law. He began to practice, without a permit, in a Cincinnati suburb. He got plenty of patients, but every now & then the law interfered. In 13 years, Chiropractor Reaver was fined eight times. Next came three short jail sentences. On his twelfth conviction, Reaver drew a six-month sentence and a warning that if he practiced again he would be prosecuted as a habitual criminal. That did it. Last week Reaver announced that his crusade was ended and he was moving to Florida...
