...heels by the Swede's boomers, Borg, who normally takes root at the baseline and whittles away with topspin ground-strokes, moved to the net to volley Jimmy's returns. Until recently, the sight of Borg at the net was as rare as, say, a display of good manners by Ilie Nastase. But Borg charged to the front court frequently and effectively in his semifinal with The Netherlands' Tom Okker, and decided to continue against Connors in the duel he called "one of my best matches ever...
...problem, however, is not as it may appear on the surface. Poll or no, Nixon is not headed anywhere near the White House; the closest he could ever make it--and even this would depend on a particularly lunatic display by the admittedly eccentric California electorate--would be a return trip to the Senate.

You must put it in its best environment, like a person," says Moore. "That's why I like my large sculptures to be sited with trees and water, where they...
...turned in the seat, pulled up her baby-blue skirt and offered two perfect pink buns. In the dark, they glowed like night flowers." Such high school imagery, unavailable in bookstores everywhere since Elia Kazan's last work, The Understudy, is now on display in his latest novel, Acts of Love. The sex is by the numbers, the philosophy has not yet graduated to the sophomoric, the characters are displayed in all their two dimensions, and the narrative is in overdrive...
