When Borg was 18, tests at a Swedish sports medicine clinic showed that he had a resting heartbeat of 38 per minute, nearly half the norm. His cardiovascular capacity then was the kind found only in mature distance runners and swimmers. Says McEnroe: "He's in the best shape of anyone. He's just got a great physical build for tennis. He's thin, and he can run all day. Some guys you see panting. You never see Borg do that. You never know if he's tired." Says Vilas: "John Newcombe once claimed that Borg's arm would wear...
...Rona Barrett, who had dismissed Best Movie Kramer vs. Kramer as so much soap suds. Said he, spotting Barrett in the press crush: "Well, the soap opera won."

The nice thing about the Ramones is that one can take them seriously and have a good laugh at the same time. Tunes like Sheena Is a Punk Rocker and Rockaway Beach are feckless, speedy...
...disco," recalls TIME's Guy Shipler, one of 14 official witnesses. The man was then strapped into a metal chair, a long stethoscope tube poking out from his collar and snaking through a wall socket into a side room, where a doctor waited to monitor his heartbeat. At 12:14 a.m., a capsule of cyanide gas tumbled down a tube and plopped into a dish of acid. The man sniffed the air expectantly and shrugged nonchalantly.
