...hear from the other side in the forthcoming tennis match of the century, Sport Reporter Paul Witteman flew to Hilton Head, S.C., to spend a day interviewing Billie Jean King. Witteman plays tennis regularly - against a woman - but missed his chance with King because she was recovering from a knee injury received while practicing in a recent tournament. Instead, he gallantly served as chauffeur and manservant, lugging Billie Jean's weights around for her so she could keep up with her leg-strengthening exercises.

The deal, moreover, probably helped bring about a long-overdue end to the era of taxpayer-subsidized underproduction on U.S. farms. The story of how the Soviets nearly managed to corner the market of a U.S. staple under the noncollectivized noses of agriculture officials, grain exporters and the President...
...graduates, who were vying for seven $20,000 positions. If a top student expressed a desire to work in a particular city, McKinsey sent him or her there for a look. One student even got a trip to the Paris office. Sea Pines Company, a recreational land developer in Hilton Head Island, S.C., surprised the business schools with a lavish recruiting program, contacting 15% to 20% of the graduates at Harvard and Stanford. The company invited 50 M.B.A.s to South Carolina and hired at least eight from Harvard...
