...Redheaded Rod ("Rocket") Laver, 23, raised puffs of chalk along the base line with his accurate overspin backhands. Neale Fraser, 28, hampered all year by a bad knee, forced the Italians into error after error with neatly placed volleys. Star of the team was wiry Roy Emerson. 25, a tireless technician who plays like a blackjack shark: he does not hit hard, but he thinks fast and rarely makes an error of judgment.

We got three new TV stations in Kenya, Uganda...
...successful invasion of Britain, however, would also further Mattei's tireless fight to revenge himself on the big oil companies for freezing him out of the international consortium set up seven years ago to refine and market Iranian oil. British oil companies currently sell about 25% of the gasoline used in Italy; Mattei slyly implies that he would be satisfied with the same percentage of the British market, 83% of which has been held up to now by British Esso and Shell...
