Despite a stopped-up nose and an ineffective serve, top-seeded Chris Evert Lloyd held off scrappy 15-year-old Susan Sloane 6-4, 6-4 yesterday afternoon in the first round of the $1.8 million Lipton International Players Championships tennis tournament...
...dozen other nations, the Americans assembled at the Soviet embassy on 16th Street, sipping vodka. Walter Sullivan of the New York Times was called to the phone, and the news he heard changed the world. Sullivan hurried back to the party and whispered in the ear of Physicist Lloyd Berkner, who rapped on the table for quiet.

Along with the takeover tussles come some new stock offerings. The most unusual is the creation of Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, 37, the author of hit musicals, including Cats and Evita. Last week it was announced that early next year investment bankers at Schroder Wagg will offer to the public shares in Lloyd Webber's company, called Really Useful. Last year the firm had pre-tax profits of $3.1 million, and it owns the rights to everything Lloyd Webber has written since 1978. Stockholders will get a share of royalties each time an elevator plays a Muzak-treated tune from...
