...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. No male chauvinist, Witteman boldly predicts that "Billie will beat the daylights out of Riggs...

...hour Sunday services, in a Manhattan apartment, include robust hymn fests and something called "dancing in the Spirit," a sprightly, solo two-step that expresses their spiritual joy. Otherwise, the fellowship is self-consciously prim. Men wear short haircuts and neat suits; women wear dresses that fall below the knee. Members eschew all nonmarital sex, hold regular jobs, tend to live close to one another as if in some kind of lay monastery. But critics say they are insufferably elitist, consider themselves more enlightened than other Christians, and generally see the devil at work in anyone who disagrees with them...
