...Richmond, Va., grew up only a few yards from a tennis court, where he started batting tennis balls around as soon as he was able to hold a racket. In 1953, a Lynchburg physician, Walter Johnson, spotted Ashe as a potentially fine player. Dr. Johnson knows his tennis talent. It was he who helped steer Althea Gibson (TIME cover...
Everything Upside-Down. A grim picture emerged of unchecked decline in the quality of big-city schools. Administrators, it was charged, are failing to face the implications of the sociological revolution now under way in U.S. urban life.

Liz flaunts her attachment to another wastrel whom she knew "in the Biblical sense-he had carnal knowledge of me." Though Burton's performance consists mostly of curtain speeches, he handles his lines with flair, particularly when he drags himself away from Liz's shack into the clean, cool air to intone sonorously: "Oh God, allow me some small remembrance of honor." The drabber phrases fall to Eva Marie Saint as the wife, whose patience and succor are apt to take...
