...India: the Davis Cup interzone finals, beating Brazil, 3-2, at Calcutta's South Club. After beating the U.S. last month, Brazil's Edison Mandarine, 25, and Thomaz Koch, 21, might have expected to wipe up the court with the Indians. That expectation reckoned without Ramanathan Krishnan, 29. Krishnan won one singles match from Mandarine, teamed with Jaideep Mukherjea to take the doubles, and wrapped it up in a marathon match against Koch 3-6, 6-4, 10-12, 7-5, 6-2. That gives India the honor of challenging Australia on Dec. 26-and then returning home...

The most common story was that Wills had angered Owner Walter O'Malley by quitting the Dodgers' post-season tour of Japan. Yet O'Malley is one of baseball...
...population ever sets foot in a conventional bookstore-and there are only about 1,500 of those. But the U.S. letter-carrier has become the middleman in an enterprise that accounts today for about 15% of the book volume. All told, mail-order houses and book clubs, such as TIME-LIFE Books and the Reader's Digest Book Club, deliver $181 million worth of volumes to the buyers' doors every year. The market has bred a host of specialty clubs for teenagers, preteens, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, teachers, civil engineers, gamblers, photographers, gardeners, and salesmen...
