...small group of Senior Faculty--maybe 50--end up writing a huge proportion of the grad school and fellowship recommendations, and some of Harvard's most popular professors complain privately of the amount of their time this process consumes. Finley worries that the prospect of writing so many letters scares some Faculty members away from accepting Masterships. Neglecting this unpleasant chore would be tempting, Gill says, except that the letters "happen to be terribly important.

...governors of the West Side Tennis Club, long a shrine of amateurism and site of the U.S. National grass court championships, voted to convert the Nationals into a U.S. Open and ante up prize money for the pros. With a whole series of open tourna ments in prospect, there was talk of such old pros as Lew Hoad, Frank Sedgman and Althea Gibson coming out of retirement. And the thought of making an honest living from their sport -as golfers do - seemed pretty good to the younger amateurs...
