Eleven years ago, when he was eight and she was turning seven, they practiced together, two West German children from the neighboring towns of Leimen and Bruehl, near Heidelberg. Playing tennis with a girl, and a younger girl at that, might have caused him the usual, expected, masculine, chauvinistic, German amount of embarrassment, except for one thing. "She could hit it," he whistles. "I was not as good as the good boys, and so I had to practice with the best girls. She was the best girl." Smiles come easily to Boris Becker, especially when the discussion includes Wimbledon...
...retire every night," says Trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, who turns 70 in October. "Then I wake up the next day and go to work." Diz has no intention of curtailing his brilliant 50-year career. "Jazz is a hundredfold more popular now than it was when I was younger," he says, "and I know more than I did earlier." Last week the bebopping hornman kicked off a two-week engagement at Michael's Pub in Manhattan for an appreciative SRO crowd.

To the outrage of a visiting younger friend, her pastor wants to move her into an old-age home -- and, not incidentally, thereby make her give up the backyard Mecca of Magi, camels, owls and other mystical sculptures she has built from cement, rusting wire, ground-up glass bottles and found objects. Her house is a shrine to her, an eyesore to neighbors, a mark of witchcraft to children and an affront both personal and theological to the pastor and his church...
...many Jewish leaders who praise the statesman say that such media attention on his father's actions during the war is misplaced when assessing the younger von Weizsacker's actions. Rather they point out that in an era where president of Austria Kurt Waldheim has covered up his own Nazi past, von Weizsacker's frankness about his own guilt is practically unique on the world stage, and therefore worthy of honor...
