Acting on a tip from Buenos Aires, Government agents put a watch on Yugoslav Minister to Argentina, General Ljubomir Ilic, who came to represent Marshal Tito at González' inauguration. When Andres Cunja, a Yugoslav long resident in Chile, was named chief of the Tito diplomatic mission in Santiago, agents followed him, too. González kept quiet about what they reported...

...press only on the right points. One time to press: when serving from the left court; the two big points, "thirty-fifteen" and "ad," begin there and it is less hazardous (for a right-handed player) to come into the net than from the deuce court. Another Roche tip: after a long set, when it is human nature to let down, give the first two games of the next set everything...
