...next John McEnroe?" But others are pleased to remember that, if only by the accident of his father's army station, he cometh from Germany. McEnroe broke his old record for ugly behavior at the Open, earning $17,500 in fines and a two-month suspension. Shortly after, Czechoslovakia's Hana Mandlikova had a minor Mac attack worth $500.

Last week Gorbachev said Moscow was also ready to discuss a cutback in short-range weapons. The offer was obviously made in preparation for this week's visit to Moscow by U.S. Secretary of State George...
...national- unity government grows wider, but Prime Minister Shamir tells TIME, "We are self- confident, and we know we are on the right track." -- Former President Carter calls for an international peace conference on the Middle East. -- Cheering crowds greet Soviet Leader Gorbachev during a visit to Czechoslovakia...
