...sharing a common interest, the subscribers swing easily into freewheeling, relaxed conversations. For reasons that even the TeleSessions hosts don't fully understand, two people seldom talk at once, interruptions are rare and discussions generally follow a polite, orderly sequence. Among the specialty groups meeting regularly are gourmet cooks, advanced photographers and small-business presidents. Groups of science-fiction buffs. Buster Keaton fans and wine connoisseurs will soon be on the line...
THERE'S A GIRL IN MY SOUP-but it might as well be a crouton. In other words, the film, adapted by British Author Terence Frisby, is about as dreary as his play of the same name.

By contrast, Swissair is 70% privately owned, flies to 56 countries and has not lost money since 1949. Last year it earned...
Sunday to Sunday. An ardent gymnast and weight lifter, Margaret nonetheless bristles at the suggestion that she is some kind of Amazon in sneakers. Shy and demure off court, she is a green-eyed blonde with a fondness for gourmet cooking and fashion design. Maggie grew up in Albury, New South Wales, playing tennis against the boys. At 15 she had collected so many trophies that her parents sent her off to train with Frank Sedgman in Melbourne. At 17 she became the youngest woman ever to win the Australian championship. Two years later she was ranked the world...
