...give me any trouble"). But in last week's match Johnson found Knox's "bloody bobbly little serve" difficult to return. Knox was deadly in putting the ball into the dedans and grille, often hitting the tambour, a jutting buttress off which the ball caroms almost parallel to the net. In three days' play, he ran through Johnson seven sets to two, became the first amateur to win the world open title since Jay Gould (grandson of the famed railroad tycoon) held it in 1914. True to the aristocratic traditions of the ancient game, there...
...actual course conform to the programed one. These course corrections were made by controllable vernier rockets and slight changes of the direction in the thrust of the main engine. When the Atlas had climbed above nearly all of the atmosphere, the computer told it to turn its nose parallel to the earth's surface. Other U.S. satellites were kicked into orbit by firing a final rocket from the ground at a calculated altitude. Atlas was the first satellite to be steered along the whole flight with the same engine, thus marked a major advance in controlled flight of ballistic...
More than a Puzzle. Author Coccioli has told the life and death of Indians of Tepoztlan, which parallel the Gospels in elaborate detail.

Coccioli has leaped over the two stumbling blocks-banality and blasphemy-that beset the path...

Parallel path to an eventual balanced budget is stiffening of taxes in areas where the collector's touch is lightest (insurance companies, oil depletion allowance, farm cooperatives) and a broadening of the tax base to "stand the stress and strain of high revenue requirements...
...Romance; Mr. Lunt has long been in general charge of language teaching in Russian. Mr. Rogers is now teaching a course for future teachers of Romance languages which, though devoted to descriptive linguistics and phonetics, stresses the applicability of these subjects to teaching at all levels; this is roughly parallel to a similar course in Germanics which Mr. Atkins introduced a few years ago. Finally, it should be pointed out that the enrollment in modern languages has risen sharply and in some cases dramatically...
