...frontiersman's life in the rough & tough interior. As a result, the winning of Venezuela's West (actually its South) is still a century-old dream. An English colony failed at Betajoque, a French colony in Maracaibo; 30 miles from Caracas, the capital, is the blond, impoverished remnant of a 19th Century German colony. But the old dream lives on: now Venezuela hopes to push back her frontier with the brains & brawn of Europe's displaced persons...
Gauntlets and Grease. Next day, before breakfast coffee had well settled in pollywog bellies, a full-whiskered Neptunus Rex arrived on the fantail. He was attended by Davy Jones and Queen Amphitrite (a tough, blond Marine sergeant wearing enormous falsies and rope-yarn hair). As No. 1 Pollywog, Truman was first-but was let off easy. He was merely ordered to give his autograph to each member of Neptune's court, and to furnish his staff with Corona cigars forever. Margaret was directed to lead a group in Anchors Aweigh, which she did falteringly...
...match between blond, ambidextrous Jack Bromwich and Ted Schroeder, it was again an all-court player with a "big service" and smashing net game against a baseline hugger. The match was exciting but sloppy.

Grimacing and holding their heads at their errors, they split the first two sets; then temperamental Ted got his savage overhead...
There were also, of course, the Australians: blond, ambidextrous Jack Bromwich, husky, lob-loving Dinny Pails, bespectacled Colin Long (Bromwich's doubles partner) and temperamental Geoff Brown. They, too, had a lot to do. For their final five days of intensive practice, they engaged a sparring partner-U.S. Professional Frank Kovacs, the champion screwball of all tennis players. The Australian problem was clear-cut but tough: in just eight months they were trying to lift their outmoded, prewar game to U.S. standards...
Lovers. In the snack bar of Frankfurt's Rhein-Main airport, a German girl sits with her G.I. fiancé. He is a slight, blond boy of perhaps 18; she is a blonde, bulging, overbearing, with a broad, white face, narrow, calculating eyes and a smile like the flat glare of an electric light that turns on & off at the touch of a switch. She leans with both elbows on the table and in a loud and domineering voice orders ice cream from the tired German waitress, while the boy follows her movements with a young...
