...event was seeded as richly as Wimbledon's famed Center Court, and the first seed was naturally Australia's Roy Emerson. Splendid on grass, he is quite likely the best amateur tennis player in the world. Besides, he seemed to own Wimbledon; he had won the All-England men's singles title in 1964 and 1965, and his victory this year was something of a foregone conclusion...
...first time since 1955, no Australian made the finals, which is roughly like no Spaniard fighting at Pamplona. Australia's brawny Tony Roche, the No. 2 seed, shared Emerson's luck.

...sober, analytic-minded pro fessionals who today dominate the na tion's philosophy departments, William Ernest Hocking would hardly be con sidered a philosopher at all. A courtly old man who puttered about his 650-acre hilltop farm near New Hamp shire's White Mountains, carrying bird seed in his pockets, Hocking customari ly listed his occupation on income tax forms as "writer-farmer." Unfashionably, he dealt with the grand intellec tual themes that have traditionally pre occupied those who love wisdom: God, the nature of man, the meaning of life. Indeed, when he died last week...
