As he saw it, the resulting Chinese famine would be "only incidental" to the desired collapse of the Communists...
...creative-writing teacher and a smart-alecky student? No. A Chinese major and a captive Australian colonel. The time is 1975, and the colonel is a victim of the old Chinese ball-point torture.

Meaning: cool it, baby. Though he started haltingly, Graebner soon found his booming serve and defeated Australian Bill Bow-rey 8-10, 6-4, 8-6, 3-6, 6-1. Ashe, as calm and poised as a man taking his morning constitutional, kept Southpaw Ray Ruffels puffing all over the court with his threadneedle forehand shots.
