...less of the Jesse Bolt she knew and loved, more and more of the corpulent Memphis shaker. She tried to understand, and one day made the mistake of saying she'd give anything to understand --within the earshot of Danny O'Day. He said, "Anything?" and voila, she had cut off her long brown hair and dyed it black and was Miss Elvis Presley...

BRITISH PETROLEUM, 51% owned by its government, raised operating profits 6% in 1977, but capital-gains taxes cut total net about 10%, to $531 million. In this year's first quarter, its earnings fell 44%, the probably temporary result of lower prices for North Sea crude and of marketing losses in Continental Europe. BP, which has total operating freedom from the politicians in Whitehall, has long emphasized crude production over marketing. The company produces the "blackest" barrel of oil in Europe-that with the largest proportion of low-profit heavy fuel-and early this year closed its biggest refinery...

This year the University of Delaware actually cut its tuition for instate residents by $60 in order to attract more students.

...much worse for the game. But they fear that an overabundance of lucre has choked off thoughtful cultivation of the sport's foundations. Banned from such prestigious but amateurs-only events as Wimbledon and Forest Hills, professional tennis players once barnstormed in station wagons to play for a cut of the gate at a high school gym. Today's stars are not only welcome at the big-name championships, they are free to jet from high-paying tournaments to still higher paying exhibitions to the stratospheric payoffs of staged-for-TV challenge matches. Once Jack Kramer, Lew Hoad...
