...tennis star Lleyton Hewitt [ON AND OFF THE COURT, Sept. 2] quoted my comment that "a dream match" in this year's U.S. Open tennis tournament "would be four Americans in the singles finals," an outcome you predicted as unlikely. But the championship matches between the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, and Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras proved that sometimes dreams do come true. An all-American conclusion to a great international event! MERV HELLER PRESIDENT AND CHAIRMAN U.S. TENNIS ASSOCIATION White Plains...
...Surrealism 1919-1944," however, lets Dali more than redeem himself by spot-lighting his seldom exhibited knockout of a picture from 1944, Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate One Second Before Waking Up. It depicts a Venus-like Gala reclining nude above some rocks. Above her, two cinematic tigers leap out of a goldfish's mouth - and seemingly out of the canvas.

In a 40-year career he wrote for Life and Look, for Harper's and Harper's Bazaar, for Woman's Day and Playboy, and even for Hallmark...
Sibling rivalry is a concept with which many of us are all too familiar. Sibling harmony is harder to fathom and, for some in the tennis world, difficult to accept. VENUS and SERENA WILLIAMS faced each other last week at Wimbledon, the third time they have met in a Grand-Slam final this year. The formidable sister act has some rivals griping that their matches are not competitive enough. "The way they play in other matches--they really don't play that way against each other," says Jennifer Capriati. But the two did not seem to be holding back when...
