...purse is $100,000, winner take all, but the victor will likely get a minimum of $200,000 and the loser $100,000 because of shares in the ancillary rights-everything from buttons (Bobby Riggs-Bleah!) to popcorn. Thus, the players' pot will set a tennis record. And, though King is reluctant to join in the hoopla, though she tries to avoid responding to the sexist gambit that has become Riggs' credo (see box page 56), she is not above capitalizing on the happening. Recently she filmed an electric-shaver commercial with Riggs. Set in a Boeing...
Last night I went to a movie. It had a lot of advertisements going for it so I figured it oughta be a good night for a change. I figured wrong. I hadn't eaten in about 24 hours and felt sort of sick. Three boxes of popcorn didn't help. The theatre didn't pass out any blankets at the door either. I wish they had 'cause the air conditioners were churning it up like they thought the Sahara desert was due to blow in through the door any minute. I had to leave before...
...make statements and otherwise collaborate. Guy asserts that these men failed to adhere to the code of conduct, undermined efforts of fellow prisoners to set up an organization, and sought the cooperation of their fellow prisoners in collaboration.

Another headache for Ogden was ABC Consolidated, a food-service firm that sells sandwiches, soft drinks, popcorn and other snacks in thousands of moviehouses, factories and sports centers, including the cavernous Pittsburgh Civic Arena. It also operates two snackbar chains, Nedick's in New York City and Doggie Diners in San Francisco. ABC, which Ogden acquired in 1967, quickly overexpanded into full-service restaurants and in 1970 lost almost $5,000,000. "We eventually identified $40 million worth of business that was not worth having," says Ablon. Ogden sold off the losers and raised earnings by folding ABC into...
...base movie theater in Saigon, amidst dormant popcorn machines and the empty "coming attraction" windows that had once trumpeted the derring-do of the Green Berets, some 200 soldiers, secretaries and journalists listened to the disembodied voice of an Army public affairs officer hidden behind a stage curtain, explaining that the Army had come to South Viet Nam to "defend against external aggression" and "had decisively defeated the enemy." After a few more words, a 26-man Vietnamese band played ruffles and flourishes, USARV'S blue banner was furled and stuffed into a canvas bag for eventual shipment...
