...sometimes outruns truth. It was a plausible assumption, in your article on Rene Lacoste [Sept. 1], that the French champion gained the sobriquet, le Crocodile, because he "played so fiercely." Actually, he was called that because of his saturnine poker face, and it would appear that his more vivacious daughter has inherited something of that same crocodilian countenance, if one might judge from some of her expressions while addressing a golf ball. There was never a more machinelike player than Lacoste in his heyday. He won so consistently because his ground-strokes could not be faulted...
...close friends and classmates, Stephanie Smith, testified to a similar incident. Assigned to tutor her at home after she had broken a hip in an auto accident, McNeill "put his hands on my breast and said, 'Where did you get these secondary sex characteristics?' " Backing up her daughter's testimony, Mrs. George Schaffner, whose husband is an accountant, explained that "we would never have subjected Susan to this terrible ordeal unless we believed in her and the truth of her charges-we took this action to protect other girls in our community."

Lacoste is much more than a shirtmaker. He is already enshrined in an athletic valhalla that Daughter Catherine may never reach. Son of a prosperous Parisian airplane-engine maker, Lacoste dropped out of mechanical engineering studies to play tennis. He played so well that he was twice Forest Hills and Wimbledon champion as well as three-time champion of France. He was a member of the only French team that ever won the Davis Cup (1927, with Jean Borotra, Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon as fellow team members). Lacoste played so fiercely that sportswriters dubbed him le Crocodile. When...
...fugitives dash from town to town, sleeping in the open air and profitably peddling conned goods between solid slapstick sequences and comic car chases. Finally, there is a farmer's daughter (Sue Lyon). The drifter steals her car-and falls in love with her. Too late, he decides to go straight. Before he can turn himself in to the MP's, the sheriff catches up with the two tricksters and claps them into jail. There Sarrazin realizes that a cage will kill the old buzzard, and risks his life and love in an attempt to spring the Flim...
