...ever used to be." The most exciting thing about the new game is that winning teams like the U.C.L.A. Bruins are leaning on runts such as Walt Hazzard (6 ft. 2 in.), who make up in speed, style and teamwork what they lack in brute size. In all team sports, it is the drama of score-the breakaway touchdown, the grand-slam homer-that makes the excitement. In basketball, the scoringest sport in the land, it is the nerve-burning electricity of the highpoint game. The 1963-64 season saw shooting that would have been the envy of Marshal Dillon...

...designs her own sportswear (though she plays no sport but gin rummy) but lets Guy Laroche run up her dresses. She owns a dozen fur coats, a Goya, a Renoir, a Fiat and a Rolls-Royce. She applies her perfume to her clothes, rather than to her skin. Her favorite scent is a mixture of geraniol, rhodinol, cedryl, acetate, jasmine, geranium, santal, patchouli, oak moss and Tibetan musk. It is called "Madame Rochas...
