Says a single woman, lately removed to the suburbs: "It's a good way to meet a fairly decent sort of man." No less a student of American mores than Art Buchwald (a tennis player noted for his murderous lob) recently observed that in Washington, at least, the latest problem for divorce lawyers is which spouse will get custody of the tennis membership. "Ninety percent of the men who play tennis with women," says Designer Oleg Cassini, who has lately branched out into alluring multicolored outfits for tennis players, "do so with some hope of sexual reward." As a tennis...
...there playing Softball, but we're going to be playing hardball pretty soon, and he's going to have to learn how to catch as well as pitch. He said that I was being very personal-I can't remember saying anything except that he was sort of a Southern-fried McGovern or Humphrey. Both Hubert and McGovern thought that was fine, as long as I mentioned their names. We don't intend to be personal; we'll keep this campaign on a lofty level.

Efforts are under way to find a write-in candidate who can beat Yarbrough in the November election. It will be a long shot. A write-in has never been elected to statewide office in Texas...
There is a little shooting in The Shootist, to be sure, including the sort of climactic saloon gundown that is not only predictable but practically required by law. The movie is stately, even funereal, as it details the last week of J.B.'s life. Director Don Siegel excels at turning out saw-toothed melodramas (Dirty Harry), and likes to play along the grim edge where sullen threat turns to quick, obliterating violence. Not even in The Beguiled-a harrowingly beautiful gothic tale-has Siegel gone so far away from what is familiar...
