...From coast to coast, no major exhibit of contemporary art these days is complete without the zap of neon, the wink of a wiggle bulb, the spiral shadows of alumia or the ghostly glare of minimal fluorescence. M.I.T.'s Hayden Gallery was jumping last week with the flickering lights of Venice Biennale Prizewinner Julio Le Fare's black-and-white Pulsating Lights and other works of artists exploring light as an artistic medium. For the Los Angeles County Museum's forthcoming "American Sculpture of the Sixties" show, electricians were readying Stephen Antonakos' Orange Vertical Floor Neon...
...hopelessly overcrowded. Out this season, says Fielding, are Torremolinos on Spain's Costa del Sol ("It has been overrun by the beats and the yé-yés; there are five different sexes there at least"), the French Riviera ("fading fast"), Italy's Adriatic coast below Venice ("absolutely overrun with Germans"), the islands of Ibiza and Majorca ("This stabs me in my left ventricle and in the right one too; we make our home there"), and Lucerne ("It's a madhouse; more than 30,000 people visit the city daily...
PORTUGAL has the Algarve, along the southern coast, now easily reachable by car from Lisbon over the recently opened Salazar Bridge.

Excellent hotels have sprung up along the Dalmatian coast, especially at Split and Dubrovnik. Rates remain low ($14 a day, including meals), and additional private-enterprise restaurants are being encouraged. To speed tourists in and out, there are direct flights from Rome and a new, two-lane asphalt highway. Only drawback: in rushing the new road to completion, no guard...
...frosh tennis team overcame the absence of newly-elected captain Clarke Kawakami to coast to a 7-2 victory over Brown. The easy win gave the freshman netmen a 3-0 record. Larry Terrell, at first singles, led the way with a 6-0, 7-5 conquest of the Bruins' Malcolm Chester. Pete Abrams, playing in Kawakami's second singles slot, waltzed to a 6-2, 6-0 victory...
