...trades for the Royal Shakespeare Company. His aim, says Kustow, will be to put on not only exhibitions "but a new kind of show." Actually, he adds, "I think of this place as much more a television studio than a gallery." He has already drawn up a pell-mell schedule calling for experimental films and plays, a production of Fire by New York's Bread and Puppet Theater, as well as exhibitions of cybernetic and advertising...

Rushing pell-mell onto the court to congratulate his players, Ecuador's non-playing Team Captain Danilo Carrera tried to hurdle the net, tripped, fell and gloriously snapped an ankle. The victory was so unexpected that Ecuadorian tennis officials had no funds set aside to send Olvera and Guzman to next month's interzone semifinals in Europe. They immediately began taking up a collection-and U.S. Captain George MacCall contributed $50. For the losers, there was one final humiliation. From London came word that for the first time in memory no American player would be seeded...
