With Graebner and Arthur Ashe, both of whom have bested some of the world's top pro players in the past year, and Stan Smith and Bob Lutz, who own almost every national amateur doubles title, the U.S. boasted its strongest Davis Cup team since it last won the trophy five years ago. The Australians, on the other hand, hurting because most of their top players have defected to the pro ranks, could only assemble a young, relatively green team, none of whom had any previous Cup experience...
...poised as a man taking his morning constitutional, kept Southpaw Ray Ruffels puffing all over the court with his threadneedle forehand shots. Though he had to serve at three-quarter speed because of an ailing elbow, Ashe won handily 6-8, 7-5, 6-3, 6-3.

At that time, recalls Bangor Punta President David Wallace, "we didn't foresee any social revolution." But Smith & Wesson's sales have since risen from less than $10 million to $16 million. Wallace is now capitalizing...
...Public Security group, William Gunn, Bangor Punta is rapidly becoming the Abercrombie & Fitch of law and order. Fully equipped by the company, a cop could use a Bangor Punta Dominator radarscope to spot a speeder or car thief, signal him to stop with a Dominator siren, pull out a Smith & Wesson .38 and pull on a Lake Erie gas mask, flush his quarry with Lake Erie tear gas, immobilize him with Mace, bring him to with a Stephenson resuscitator, check him for alcohol with a Breathalyzer, and slap on Smith & Wesson handcuffs...
