...over hourlong rites. "We are being trampled!" shouts Borg's mother, as she is shoved toward a rosebush on her way out. But the crowd is delighted with the dazzling scene: the world's finest tennis player and, at his side, a native daughter, radiant in a jewel-encrusted gown by Tenniswear Couturier Ted Tinling; it cost, they say, $8,000-four times the average Rumanian's yearly salary.

James Gannon, executive editor of the Des Moines Register, calls Anderson a "silver-haired orator with a golden tongue, a 17-jewel mind and a brass backbone." Respected on Capitol Hill for his courage, he was one of the first Republicans to call for the resignation of Richard Nixon. Senator Robert Dole, a long-shot rival for the G.O.P. nomination himself, says flatly: "Anderson is the brightest man running for President...
