...longest Davis Cup challenge-round singles set on record is the 17-15 one which red-haired Maurice McLoughlin won from Norman Brookes in 1914. Last week at Wimbledon, when another red-haired Californian, Donald Budge, played husky Charles Edgar Hare of England in the 1937 Davis Cup challenge round, the games seesawed with service up to 13-all before Budge finally broke through to win. What made the set more remarkable was that Hare, England's No. 2, had been considered barely able enough to make Budge stretch his long legs. Even when Budge ran out the next...

Incognito as "the Countess & Count von Sternberg," they had brought 21 pieces of luggage including two gramophones, six pairs of skis. Their Royal Highnesses publicly drank whiskey & soda at teatime, insisted on Polish dishes (item: hare in cream with beets) in the dining room. While Bridegroom Bernhard ski-jored behind a sleigh, Bride Juliana skied on a practice slope before a trainer and 47 cameramen, good-naturedly taking frequent spills and crying the only two Polish words she had learned: "Don't photograph!" Considering how ably the world press can hound romantic couples when it wants to, world press...
