McEnroe began preparing for his return to the pro tour with a regimen of yoga and weight training. Aware of the odds against ever regaining the No. 1 spot he last held in 1984, he has also started to work at a game for which he had never had to push himself before. "I'm going to show my best tennis down the road," he said. "And I also believe . . . that being in such great physical shape is going to help me mentally when things try to bother me on the court...
...down for an hour or so of communing with his diary (see following story). At 6:45 he gets a regular call from an aide in New York City who summarizes the morning papers. Cuomo dissects everything that is written about him. Each morning he does 17 minutes of yoga, therapy for his bad back.

During the mission, Salyut linked twice with Soyuz "ferries" that carried two visiting crews up and then back down again. The visitors chalked up a few firsts of their own.

The photo session was going swimmingly when a water hose was turned on in the studio...
They could have been married in the Rose Garden, but Actress Patti Davis, 31, and Yoga Instructor Paul Grilley, 25, preferred the politically neutral turf of Los Angeles' Hotel Bel Air. Except for eschewing a White House extravaganza, however, Davis, who has occasionally vexed her father with liberal views on premarital sex and marijuana, opted for a traditional wedding. Ronald and Nancy Reagan came down from their ranch near Santa Barbara to give away the bride and meet their daughter's new in-laws, Terrence and Donna Grilley. While 134 guests looked on (and 180 police and federal...
