Foote, naturally, is not the only TIME staffer to go for the net in his off-hours. New York Bureau Chief Laurence Barrett and Correspondent James Willwerth, both racquet zealots, competed in this year's press tournament at Forest Hills-though neither made the finals. Correspondent Arthur White runs and wins the annual fall tournament of TIME'S Washington bureau -with stiff competition from players like Diplomatic Editor Jerrold Schecter, who manages to get in winter practice during lulls while accompanying Henry Kissinger on trips to sunny climates.
