Gallerygoers who approach sculpture with high seriousness were put off at first by Greco's 7-ft., posturing Bathers, nude except for a Bikini with tight, binding bra. But Greco expects spectators to chuckle at the unexpected solemnity of their plump, vapid faces-while admiring their slender-legged charms. Says he, "They are comic figures, part of our society. They have participated in life; their participation is my theme...
Sophomore Tim Gallwey will occupy the second position for the varsity. His opponent will be Steve Bank, who, like Gallwey, is small. Bank won over the slender lefty in the first Chapel Hill match but was trounced by Sears in the second. Although somewhat erratic, Gallwey has shown tremendous improvement this year, and will give Bank a tough match...

Their light faded, and at 6:45 the sun burst bright and yellow above a cloud bank to bathe the slender dark-green-and-white Vanguard rocket standing on Launch Pad 18A.

...Mundo's maxim is more than Monday-morning bravado. The new daily was propelled into orbit by slender, bushy-haired Miguel Angel Capriles, 42, Venezuela's biggest publisher, whose morning papers. La Esfera (The Sphere) and tabloid Ultimas Noticias (Latest News), earned a hazardous reputation as two of the few sheets that proved most staunch in defiance of Pérez Jiménez. (The only daily that outdid Capriles' papers was Roman Catholic La Religión, which refused to run a single line on the dictator's "me-or-nobody" election victory.) Publisher Capriles...
