"I have considered carefully the moral issues behind what I'm doing," says a Boston songwriter who will have to be known only as Daniel, "and my philosophy is, Why support a government whose practices I don't believe in? If I use a public service, I pay for it. When I buy gas, I pay the tax. When I drive my car, I pay tolls. And even when I've been below the poverty...

The shy Swede, born just outside Stockholm, raised just outside the baseline, is a special case. First of all, his departure grants Czechoslovak Ivan Lendl and Americans John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors complete custody of the game, a dismal situation...
