...formerly young one, Frank Stella. It was in 1970 that Stella, at 33, became the youngest painter ever to be given a retrospective by New York City's Museum of Modern Art. To survive the envy and the scrutiny it brought, one needed the balance of a downhill racer, the skin of an alligator and the irony of Groucho Marx. Stella had all of these things...
...endorsement contracts that have made him perhaps the highest-paid athlete ($25 million since 1974) will have to be renegotiated. So much of Borg's 5-ft. 11-in., 160-lb. form is let for advertising space, on the court he looks almost like an Indy racer. "I won't turn in the racquet al together. I will play when I feel it.

He does not make movies during the summer months. As much as possible he does nothing but race sports cars, although this year he also campaigned hard for the nuclear-freeze movement. Quite unexpectedly, after doing no racing at all until his late 40s, he has become one of the best amateur race drivers in the country. Newman, say the records, has been twice national champion in his class (and with this success has dropped...
