...deciding point, however, was extremely difficult to nail down. Playing first singles, Bergman took a demanding first set from Ramona But 6-2, but then appeared to tire, dropping the second set 6-2 and falling behind in the third. At second doubles, Ivy Player of the Year Lingman had trouble with Marianne Baker, falling in a 7-6 tiebreak in the first set. Likewise, at fourth singles, Elsa O’Riain dropped her first set in a tiebreak to Neda Mihneva and was losing in the second...
Bulls by nature are sprinters who tire quickly. But the breed on Wall Street is displaying the endurance of a marathon runner. The stock-market rally that began more than three years ago is as robust as ever. The stampede, spurred at first by a sharp drop in interest rates, started on Friday, Aug. 13, 1982, with a twelve-point rise in the closely watched Dow Jones industrial average, to 788.

Early-morning rains forced an extra-cautious NASA to send the Discovery on an additional orbit and delay its return by some 90 minutes. The touchdown was a bit rough: Discovery blew a tire as it rolled to a stop on the Kennedy Space Center's three-mile-long runway. Upon examination, the ship proved to have suffered more external damage than any previous shuttle--a dinner-plate-size hole near its wingtip and damage to 123 protective tiles. NASA will carefully assess the damage...
...expensively cloistered. No more. On weekend afternoons around the country, crowds of tailgating fans show up to watch scores of horses thunder across neatly turfed ten-acre greenswards. Willow mallets whistle--pock--as high-charging riders smack a 4-oz. white wooden ball. Brooks Fire-stone, 49, of the tire Firestones, reports, "It's no longer a social, rich man's game...
