...seen him angry only once," he said. "He turned and asked the umpire, 'Are you sure about that call?' For Borg, that is a tantrum." Ainslie interviewed many of Borg's tennis colleagues, including players, officials and promoters. "Fellow pros like John McEnroe, Stan Smith and Harold Solomon see one facet of Borg, but I got some surprising insights from talking to tennis umpires," says Ainslie. "Some of them have been in the business for years. They can make valid comparisons with the great players of the past, whereas for today's players, that...
Like Childe Harold, Jimmy Carter was on a pilgrimage to Venice this week, not to muse on the fate of a vanished empire but to confer with the leaders of six allies in an effort to repair their sadly weakened ties.

...plan now is to take early retirement in 1982 after completing 20 years in the classroom," says Harold. "I don't think many people believe any more in the validity of a democratic public education. That is, one where kids from various groups rub elbows and actually learn from each other. The question then is, what do we really want in education?" Harold still is an excellent teacher, and he likes the spirit of the children in his school. But, he says, "when I look out at a class of 35 sophomores and I know that the reading levels...
