...shrewd Hungarian typist. That pinned remaining U.S. hopes, as usual these days, on poker-faced Althea Gibson, 30. In the final, Althea efficiently walked over Britain's Angela Mortimer 8-6, 6-2. But nowhere was there a sign of that combustible quality that lights the eye of U.S. Pro Promoter Jack Kramer. Said he: "I don't want any of these guys, let alone the dolls. My payroll is full...
...Eye on the Future. Staunch Republican Snedden did not always have his magnificent obsession. Growing up in the Northwest, he learned the backshop trades of the news business, mastered the Linotype when he was 14, developed into a skilled doctor of slumping papers, and, incidentally, made a pile in real estate.

Tysen will also shop around for three kings interested in plush homes, has hunting licenses for land for a British firm that wants to build 700-room luxury hotels in Lisbon and Vienna...
...best story of the lot is the last and longest, The Eye of God in Paradise. Two doctors, a man and a woman, arrive in the Bavarian Alps on a skiing holiday. They are English and lovers, and each has lost a former love during the war. Both are generous, both are hopeful that the time of Hitler was a decent nation's inexplicable nightmare-but they run into enough of the Nazi mentality to live a nightmare of their own. Author Lessing's tale is too carefully loaded to be fully convincing or fair...
