...Prove Fair Weather, her latest, has anguished her for five years. It is the story of a seduction that never quite comes off. The principals: James Nathaniel Wishart, a cautious redhead who has been married for 20 years without finding out he is ticklish; Emmy Cruger, a divorced, slim-waisted, no longer youthful college teacher whose knees are ordinary but whose discernment is not. Businessman Wishart wants a return ticket to Cytherea. Emmy offers him the ticket but refuses to guarantee more than a one-way trip. Her attitude: "We have only one life to live, if that."

Perry changed rackets, but the unsmiling Budge boomed off the seventh game, and the next set was on. For the first four games of this, Perry held the redhead even with a great and foxy effort, but Budge had too much for him. That set ended 6-3. The next ended 6-0. Perry made 67 errors, never once broke Budge's service, had not only lost his Indian sign but his vaunted forehand. But he offered...
