...Cover Artist Koch did not capture the Julie Andrews I know and love. Painting her without that beautiful, radiant, happy smile is like doing Durante without a nose or a Kennedy without hair...
...India: the Davis Cup interzone finals, beating Brazil, 3-2, at Calcutta's South Club. After beating the U.S. last month, Brazil's Edison Mandarine, 25, and Thomaz Koch, 21, might have expected to wipe up the court with the Indians. That expectation reckoned without Ramanathan Krishnan, 29. Krishnan won one singles match from Mandarine, teamed with Jaideep Mukherjea to take the doubles, and wrapped it up in a marathon match against Koch 3-6, 6-4, 10-12, 7-5, 6-2. That gives India the honor of challenging Australia on Dec. 26-and then returning home...

Then Richey was beaten in straight sets by Koch, who grew up right across the street from the Leopoldina Juvenil Tennis Club. Dennis Ralston kept U.S. hopes alive by beating Koch and teaming with Ashe to win the doubles, 7-5, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. But in his final singles match against Mandarino, the Menace lost his cool. Visibly rattled by noisy spectators, who chanted "Brasil! Bra-sil!" from the third set onward, he collapsed completely in the fifth...
...Koch and Mandarino were engulfed by delirious well-wishers, paraded around town in a huge, honking car caravan. Although they still must get past either India or West Germany in order to qualify for December's challenge round in Australia, Brazilian newspapers were suddenly tennis mad and proclaiming: THE CUP IS ALMOST OURS...
