...That is a very good portrait of Israel's Golda Meir, but there are two things missing: a broom to match her looks, and a swastika to show her true personality and ideals...
There is an almost epic symbolism in the match of Procaccino against John Lindsay, who early in his four-year term was perhaps the most celebrated and promising mayor in the U.S. Tall, handsome, flat-bellied, articulate with tongue and pen, popular with academics, big businessmen and show people as well as students and black slum residents, Lindsay represents the aristocratic remnant in local politics. As the liberal Republican who broke the Democratic hold on New York City, he was once touted as a future opponent to Robert Kennedy for the presidency. Only 47, he may yet have a national...
...Rumanians have ever seen. The tourney was also notably lacking in traditional tennis gentility. While S.D.S. demonstrators chanted outside that the Davis Cup was a "function of the capitalist pigs," the Americans charged that the Rumanians were "rude," and the Rumanians accused court officials of making "strange calls."

But in the peculiar stratification of tennis players, the Australian stars are classified as full-fledged professionals (as opposed to "players" like Ashe, who may compete for money but are not under professional contract to any organization). Last July...
...Harvard's backfield. at least in terms of talent. is a match for the Bruins. The crucial factors will be timing and teamwork, areas which the Crimson has sharpened greatly during the past week. Ordway. a two-year veteran at scrumhalf. will be passing to deceptive Mario Small at fly. and Greg Sandomisrsky will team with Verdi DiSesa at the wing three-quarters. Jamie Plunkett and Bucky Hayes will play on the wings. and All-American Joe Daly will be at fallback...
