...after his wife died and he turned it over to his daughter-in-law and grandson, Naval Architect William Prescot Frost. Since moving to Oregon, they decided to sell the house where the venerable poet had lived for nearly 20 years. The buyer: a doctor -a "longtime Frost fan"-from the same hospital where Frost is a patient...
...Emerson to defeat Mexico's Rafael Osuna and Antonio Palafox in a straight-sets doubles match that lasted only 70 min. At the closing ceremony, Mexican Captain Pancho Contreras wistfully fondled the Davis Cup, announced that his team would be back to try again. Yelled one Down Under fan, bored with yet another victory: "I hope you bloody well win the thing."

It can go 7,000 miles without refueling, stay aloft 13¼ hours, average 550 to 600 m.p.h...
...find the new ads a highly specialized art form. Because the ads must appeal to women, the model must be healthily sexy but not voluptuous or wanton. Then the trick is to determine to a micrometer the line between tasteful appeal and tasteless eroticism. Photographers spend hours adjusting a fan to blow a bit of drapery across a bare breast at just the crucial angle, contrive ingenious arm arrangements in contortions few females would be likely to assume, vie with each other to find props (a white cat, a shower curtain) that will generally obscure what is being specifically suggested...
