...Painter Edward Zelenin, who wants to emigrate to France. Last week, a few days before the planned opening of an unauthorized showing in Moscow of "unofficial" art, Zelenin was arrested. Much luckier is Martina Navratilova, Czechoslovakia's 18-year-old tennis star; as the U.S. Open Championships at Forest Hills ended last week, she defected to the U.S., explaining that in her Communist-run homeland, she did not enjoy the freedom to play tennis "whenever I want and wherever I want...

The game that was once dominated by Americans and Australians is now a polyglot sport with stars from Mexico, Argentina, India, Poland, Sweden and Spain. Such varied talent, combined with the switch at Forest Hills from grass to a claylike surface that does not favor the spasmodic serve-and-volley offense, prompted Wimbledon Champion Arthur Ashe to predict last week that multiple upsets would rock this year's Open. Indeed, former Open Champion Stan Smith was ousted in the tournament's first night...
