...real surprise was Clark Graebner, 22, a gangly, bespectacled Ohioan, who ranks only No. 13 in the U.S.-though he did beat the world's No. 2 and No. 3 players, Australia's Roy Emerson and Fred Stolle, to win a tournament Down Under last year. Up to now, Graebner's trouble has been a relatively weak backhand, which has kept him from a Davis Cup singles berth. At Cleveland last week, he had the backhand to go with his searing forehand and serve. In the first singles match, he beat Mexico's Joaquin Loyo-Mayo...
...Graebner was not through proving how far he has come. Drawing Osuna in the second series of singles, he treated the home folks in Cleveland to the best tennis of the entire match, acing the Mexican eight times with his slashing serve, and outshooting him with deft passing drives in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. To cap it off, 19-year-old Cliff Richey, the U.S. clay-court champion (TIME, July 29), made his own Davis Cup debut in the other singles by beating Mexico's Marcelo Lara in a grueling four-set match...
When Santana clobbered Froehling in straight sets to give Spain a 2-0 lead, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

The Americans won the first two sets, blew the next two, and then, leading 5-2 in the last set, Dennis bungled three straight volleys. The Spaniards pulled out the set 11 -9 to sew up the best of five series the quickest way possible with three victories in a row. A split...
TIME'S European advertising manager, Walter Graebner, had written me earlier about the book. He called the opening chapter "a frank, amusing, and deeply moving story," which "probably tells more about what the British really thought of the American soldiers and what the Americans thought of the British than anything published...
...which carry to 1,400,000 people all over the free world the same news stories that TIME publishes in the U.S. Chances are that you know less about another reporting job which these editions do-through their advertising space. Last week I talked about this job with Walter Graebner, of TIME-LIFE International's London office, now in North America on an annual working visit and a vacation. Formerly a top correspondent on such TIME assignments as blitzed London and wartime Moscow, Graebner is an acute observer, an American who for two decades has worked at understanding...
