...running to be the new nation's first Paramount Ruler because of his marital didoes (TIME. Aug. 12), and across the Strait of Malacca, when Indonesia's President Sukarno took a third wife, he touched off vehement, widely publicized feminist demonstrations.

Her game, which had been an exercise in sheer power, began to show signs of sophistication. Now all her life was focused on tennis. She quit school and went to work. She was a counter girl in a Chock Full o' Nuts shop in lower Manhattan, a chicken cleaner on Long Island ("I used to have to take out the guts and everything, but I still like chicken"), an elevator operator in the midtown Dixie Hotel, a packer...
