Connors' departure brought attention to the less familiar skills of 16th-seeded American Tim Mayotte, unseeded New Zealander Chris Lewis and Curren on one side of the bracket, while John McEnroe (No. 2 seed) and Ivan Lendl (3) fought it out rather tamely on the other. Lendl has a slight allergy and tremendous aversion to grass and actually skipped Wimbledon last year. But at 23, he appears ready to confront McEnroe, 24, on every surface from here on out. This is the next great tennis argument and they should be years settling it. Each man likes the other about...

It is relatively unimportant how the "nuclear threshold" is crossed-as a result of a preventive nuclear strike or in the course of a war fought with conventional weapons, when a country is threatened with defeat, or simply as a result of an accident.

If most generals had their way, wars would probably be fought on other planets, free from inspection that leads to judgment, which itself may join the hostile forces...
...Ludwig Hilberseimer in 1928 and Le Corbusier in 1934, has a nightmarish, totalitarian quality, akin to George Orwell's 1984 foreboding of a boot in the face. It seems incredible that many of the most talented and renowned designers in the Aspen tent had once believed in and fought for these visions...
