...long hair parted in the middle and tied back with colored yarn, and-look Ma!-a two-handed backhand. The Chris Evert line of Puritan Tennis outfits, frilly, form-fitting tennis togs splashed with pastels, makes the squarish whites of old look like straitjackets. Now, with the figure to complement the filigree, she has erased forever the "little Chrissie" sobriquet. Still, she is unsatisfied: "I wish some writer would get around to calling me sexy...
...until 1978. Anderson himself faces re-election next year. If he wins well, he could become a serious contender for Vice President on the '76 national ticket?with anyone, of course, except a fellow Minnesotan. Being young, Midwestern, Protestant and a Governor, he might elegantly complement a Ted Kennedy candidacy, although some might think it entirely too youthful a package. Or he might fit in well with a Muskie candidacy. Anderson insists, with a conviction he can afford at such an early age, that "I intend to do the best job I can for the state." It would be understandable...
...system.* By contrast, the second team should find the lab in good working order. As the countdown began last week, the only potentially serious problem reported by mission controllers was a malfunction in an attitude-control gyroscope, the second to break down so far (seven of Skylab's complement of nine gyros in the triply-redundant system are still working).

Chadwick says Divine Light is a complement rather than a competitor to them, and that the founders of virtually all major religions--Buddha, Moses, Christ, Krishna, and Mohammed--are treated with great respect. All are assumed, he said, to have "had Knowledge." Still, the structured ritualism of established churches is a failing, and the newer and less formal sects also miss the mark. "All those other groups says you'll see light in ten years, 20 years," Chadwick said. "The Guru Maharaji says you can see light today...
...middle and distance freestyle races, Gambril needs one or two more top men to complement Rich Baughman in the 1000-yd. and 1650-yd. distances and captain Fred Mitchell, the steady if not spectacular 200 and 500-yd. specialist. A good crop of incoming freshmen will strengthen an area already quite adequate. The continued improvement of sophomore Mike Cook--who should get the "comeback performance of the year" award after making an extremely difficult return to competition after a year's absence--and the availability of Yntema in the freestyles made the Crimson's 800-yd. free relay...
