...itself is usually a pleasure. It's done in long, tangled, eclectic sentences; the thoughts come to him in bursts of various length, each one striving for profundity and literary value. This sometimes produces streams of semi-meaningless maxims (of Rubin, "He is Jimmy Connors deciding to be Chrissie Evert, as solemn as an oil rig;" of Canada, "a New Zealand on rubber wheels." Leonard must have some idea what these things mean). It also sometimes produces really good and perceptive lines (writers "will descend into pulpdom, where the libidinal cathexes are so simpleminded it seems that anyone with...
...know if it was me or that she was hungry," said Jack Ford, 23, talking about Tennis Star Chris Evert's speedy 6-2, 6-1 victory over Kathy Kuykendall in the first round of last week's Virginia Slims tennis tournament.

Said Chris: "He is no longer my fiancé, and all thoughts about marriage have been shelved." All of which helped Billie Jean look like the coolest competitor around. She acquired a striking outfit that she threatened to wear (but did not) to the Wimbledon ball: Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp costume. Then, having proclaimed...
...apparently Foreman can hardly wait. Last week his manager, Leroy Jackson, was in Manila to propose a super multimillion-dollar package for an Ali-Foreman rematch, featuring, as sideshows, a golf tournament with Jack Nicklaus and Johnny Miller, and a tennis extravaganza that would include Jimmy Connors and Chris Evert. Trouble is, nobody but Foreman has as yet signed...
