...conveying the atmosphere, the jumble, the ebb-and-flow relaxed panic that permeates the Open (and its home since last year, the National Tennis Center in Queens, N.Y.) and distinguishes it from some taped pseudo-spectacular from the Rio Spectaculo Beach Resort, is a quick pan from the Goodyear blimp, or a quick aside from Tony Trabert...
...companies howled in outrage, for they feared that the Government was letting Jersey Standard into their business. So Newhall spread the manufacture of butadiene and styrene among 14 oil companies, six chemical companies and one rayon firm. The raw materials were then shipped to plants operated by B.F.

The militant union has conducted eight major strikes since 1960; the last, in 1976, dragged on for 141 days. Another next year is likely. Still, the union's demands focus on job security rather than wages, and the cost of the settlement could be partly offset by changes in work rules...
