...million) as there are people in Ecuador, (5,000,000), and the list of participants on a Sunday at the courts in Manhattan's Central Park is longer than the membership rolls (500) at all of Ecuador's five tennis clubs combined. But the U.S. Davis Cup team, which in eight years has managed to lose to Mexico, Italy (twice), Spain and Brazil, was not about to let statistics stand in the way. In Guayaquil last week, a four-man U.S. squad headed by Arthur Ashe-ranked the No. 1 amateur...
...veterans of the international circuit. Richey got the U.S. off to a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series by beating Guzman, 6-2, 2-6, 8-6, 6-4. But what happened after that was incredible. Ashe, who had not lost a single set in Davis Cup play this year, lost three in a row-and the second match-to Olvera.

From 25 factories in 19 states, Maryland Cup turns out containers for everything from coffee to carry-out chop suey, and its growing plastics division ranges from disposable glasses for airline drinkers to "banana boats" for banana-split fanciers...
...Maryland Cup does 60% of its business during warm-weather months-and ice cream plays a key part. Says Executive Vice President Merrill L. Bank, 52, who married a Shapiro: "The old days, when you walked into a drugstore and bought a hand-dipped product, are gone forever." Today, packaged ice-cream accounts for 72% of the 800 million gallons sold annually in the U.S. To win that market, Maryland Cup developed the Flex-E-Fill, a 1,200-lb. stainless steel machine capable of packaging 44 kinds of ice-cream products in different sizes at speeds...
