...formation of the new committee, expected to report to Ford in the spring, could speed the construction of a new indoor athletic complex for Harvard...
...reason U.S. amateur tennis is in such parlous shape is that talent too often goes unrewarded. Puerto Rico's Charles Pasarell, for example, has won two straight U.S. Indoor championships and was the only American even to reach the men's quarterfinals at Wimbledon-yet he was passed over for the 1967 Davis Cup team. Then there is Billie Jean Moffitt King...
...pure drama - and implausibility - neither of those victories came close to matching the upset engineered by a 23-year-old Puerto Rican named Charles Pasarell. Son of a wealthy Santurce businessman, "Charlito" Pasarell is the reigning U.S. indoor champion, the No.3-ranked player in the nation, and the possessor of a big serve that he boldly calls "the Bomb." Yet Pasarell's game is as erratic as it is flashy. "I've beaten just about everybody in the world," he admits, "but I've been beaten by just about everybody too." He was not even named...
...Hines, 20, is not the least bit pigeon-toed-in fact, he's just a little duck-footed, and it may be a good thing. If he were 100% efficient, there is no telling how fast he could run. Three times last winter Hines tied the indoor world record of 5.9 sec. in the 60-yd. dash.

Two weeks later...
Eighth Wonder. A three-story aviary will be filled with macaws, two types of parrots and cock-of-the-rock birds; there is an indoor sidewalk cafe open 24 hours a day on the floor of the lobby, a saucer-shaped cocktail lounge perched on a column one floor above -and 20 lobby hostesses in gold uniforms to pass out room keys and arrange for shopping tours, beauty appointments and baby sitters. For good measure, the hotel is topped by a restaurant that revolves 360° each hour, on a clear day gives diners a view of the Blue Ridge...
