...Hope You're Satisfied." At Forest Hills, early-round sets were 21-point affairs, and the two-point-margin rule was eliminated, causing Van Alen to complain: "They're not playing VASSS. It's not my system at all." He was nowhere nearly as upset as Pancho Gonzales was when Gonzales discovered that he was required to serve from the 3-ft. line-thereby taking the steam out of his serve, the hardest in the game. Gonzales blew his first-round match to Chilean Luis Ayala, 21-18, then blew his top. He challenged heckling spectators...
...Bend had not seen such commotion since Pancho Villa tromped over the border in 1916, and it was hardly prepared for the crush. Extra telephone lines and fast-transmission Telex machines were jammed into ranger headquarters at Panther Junction to handle press copy, and a car stood ready to rush outgoing material to the airstrip 120 miles away. For Lady Bird's five-hour raft journey through the wild gorges of the Rio Grande, rangers had floated box lunches, soft drinks and coffee, and portable toilets to the sand bar where the party was to stop for lunch...
Romping around on this modern surface at the Garden was an equally advanced set of tennis players. There was California's rangy Pancho Gonzales, trying for a comeback at the ripe age of 37, and the current Wunderkind of the pro circuit, Australia's Rod ("Rocket") Laver, 27, biggest money winner ($65,495) in 1965. Finally, there was slight (5 ft. 7 in.), polite Ken Rosewall, also an Australian and evidently a has-been at 31, since Laver had pushed him off the top of the heap last year. In the quarterfinals, Gonzales gave Rosewall something to think...
...turned out to be a great occasion for mutual admiration. "I was born for modern art and it for me," said Motherwell. For their part, Modern Museum officials happily recalled that the MMA had bought one Motherwell collage, Pancho Villa, Dead and Alive, in 1943, a year before his first one-man show, when the artist had been painting for only three years. The Modern Museum has kept a close watch on Motherwell ever since; today it owns six of his works...
...Mexico's Big Three.* For his contemporaries, Orozco's work caught the spirit of Mexico, bloodied and in ruins, emerging from eleven years of brutal class warfare triggered by the Revolution of 1910. They are all there in his paintings, the heroes of the revolution: Zapata, Pancho Villa, Carranza, and the armed peons marching off to war. Their faces are shrouded by their sombreros, or they are often seen from the back, the anonymous masses, the revolution's avengers and its victims...
