And to do that would take more than just the opportunity to blow the mind of a gentleman athlete with well timed Bronx cheers and raspberries. Although tennis as frenzy could attract somewhat, what was at the core of the attraction was a slightly detuned version of the King-Riggs match: getting a man and a woman in the ring against one another...

You have a President, one of the ablest in your history, who has talent, guts and a superb conception of international relations, but you will kill him. The whole Watergate business is a bagatelle. Instead of impeaching Nixon, change your Constitution, elect him for seven more years, and send to jail for anti-American...
