...with victories over Emerson in Australia and France. In July he won at Wimbledon with such astonishing ferocity that Martin Mulligan, another countryman whom he dispatched in barely 53 minutes, gasped: "I must have offended him." By the time he got to Forest Hills, says Laver, "I was so nervous I could hear my knees knocking all right, and the strain may have affected my game a little." If it did, he was the only one who noticed it. He breezed through his six preliminary matches with the loss of only one set. In the finals, he ran away with...
...maitre d' at Manhattan's Hotel Roosevelt Grill, and he was talking to 27-year-old Guy Lombardo the night the Royal Canadians opened there. A Chicago critic had called Lombardo's airs "the sweetest music this side of heaven," but still it made Ernst nervous. Lombardo was leaving out the boop-poop-a and just giving the dew. But Lombardo ignored him and kept fogging it into the room-for 33 years-to become one of the most popular and durable performers in U.S. show business. He has sold more than 100 million records...
...spacecraft's electronic nervous sys tem took over and issued commands of its own, starting a one-hour warmup period. It turned off instruments and turned on guidance gyros.

From Hamburg in the north to Munich in the south, the Germans-at De Gaulle's request-have laid on a man-killing marathon of speeches, parades, banquets and wreath layings to honor the first official visit of a French head of state to modern Germany. Nervous German chefs on his route have all compared menus to make sure that their guest is not served the same dish twice; heroically oversized beds have been deployed at each stopover to accommodate De Gaulle's 6 ft. 4 in. frame. In Hamburg alone, some 3,000 extra policemen...
...beyond that, Naked City is not just some fuzz bomb full of nervous motion and synthetic sentiment. It is a remarkably good television show, skillfully written by various hands. Its cool and objective approach derives from Mark Hellinger's 1948 movie. The Naked City (Hellinger's widow has collected more than $80,000 in royalties so far). Whether it is telling the story of a painter who murders his wife or a cop having a nervous breakdown, its scripts are full of insight and nicely caught dialogue. The plots are built, not boiled. And it has won three...
