...These principles, on both sides, now seem a little tattier in Schorr's telling. When CBS decided that Schorr must go, its lawyers in February 1976 agreed to pay Schorr more than two years' salary, and severance besides. Only after Schorr had assented to a well-paid firing did CBS agree with him that perhaps such a deal might prejudice Schorr's ongoing troubles with Congress.

...companies ask only that South African wages be lower than wages they would have to pay Americans--and their black workers earn, on average, less than a quarter of their U.S. counterparts' wages.

That gentlemanly attitude makes life easier for Alphonso Smith, who will supervise the U.S. Clay Court Championships for 70s, 75s and 80s this September in Charlottesville, Va. "But the real reason I like the Super-Seniors," he says with tongue tucked firmly in cheek, "is that you don't have to worry about getting harassed by the parents...
