...rooms or showers, the hotel food was only marginally edible, and the 6,000-seat stadium stood virtually empty. "This," declared Eliot Teltscher, the world's tenth-ranked tennis pro, "is no way to run a tournament-in China or anywhere else." Other players at the Marlboro Grand Prix Tennis Classic in Canton, the first professional athletic competition in the People's Republic, were in a similar funk. "I didn't eat for the first two days," insisted Tennessean Terry Moor. But the most celebrated participant took it all in stride. In fact, Jimmy Connors hardly seemed...
...affirmation of faith in his country-Vernon Jordan, 44, president of the National Urban League and one of the nation's foremost black leaders, drove back to the Marriott Inn where he was staying in Fort Wayne, Ind. As he stepped from the fire-engine red Pontiac Grand Prix, a burst of rifle shots shattered the muggy night. Jordan slumped against the trunk of the car, then collapsed on the pavement, his head resting near the left taillight.

MARRIED. Stirling Moss, 50, champion British racing driver; and Susie Paine, 27, an advertising executive; he for the third time, she for the first; in London.

Smitten with images of Louise's dark, gamy sexuality in such films as Pandora's Box and Prix de Beaute, Tynan is now thoroughly captivated by the frail star's reminiscences of her fast, libidinous life. It is an erotic meeting of minds. "When we were talking on the phone," she says, "some secret compartment inside me burst, and I was suddenly overpowered by the feeling...
...women owner-chefs, all of whom parted with special recipes. Marthe Faure, who owns the 72-year-old Auberge Saint-Quentinoise just outside Paris, contributed veal kidneys du prince, which is one of the few French dishes to employ bourbon whisky; it also won her the coveted Grand Prix of the Poêle d'Or in 1968. Though Peter says grandly in her preface that "we are liberated from the potato, which modern industrialization has made tasteless," her chefs offer five tasty dishes made with the proscribed pomme. An intriguing zucchini soufflé mistral comes from Colette Maudonnet...
