...last count by the Department of Labor. Technological change has opened up occupations at an unprecedented rate. The computer industry needs a steady flow of systems analysts, programmers and operators. The burgeoning aerospace field needs specialists in aeronomy and the ionosphere, experts in lunar and planetary studies. Even social ills create new careers. All the prodigal wastes of the era demand new experts-in smog and pest control, not to mention sanitation technology. Ecologists maintain a watch on the total environment, noting how change in one area triggers change in others. Ethnologists explore ways of dampening human violence before...

Adds Stanford Senior Pat McMahon: "I think it encourages a more holistic relationship. It is very important that men and women see each other as more than bodies...
Court tennis is still being played, and mostly by modern-day royalty. Of the 3,000 or so aficionados who play the game today, most are straight out of the social register-with one notable exception. Last week the world open court-tennis championship, held in Manchester, England, pitted George ("Pete") Bostwick Jr., 34, Wall Street stockbroker, topflight amateur golfer and son of a polo player, against John Willis, 25, ex-boxer and son of a Manchester factory worker. Bostwick developed his game at New York's Racquet and Tennis Club; Willis picked up his skills as an apprentice...
