Whenever the going got rough, an invariable sequence of events always seemed to overtake Italy's two standout tennis stars: lithe Nicola Pietrangeli would weep, towering Orlando Sirola would laugh, and, sooner or later, both would get beaten. But last week in the Davis Cup interzone finals in Perth, Australia, the emotional Italians, crying and chortling as always, suddenly turned tough under pressure. After losing two matches in a row, they rallied to defeat a favored squad of U.S. youngsters 3-2, thereby earned Italy the right to challenge the proud Australians later this month for the Davis...
...Scornful Laugh. What resurrected the cry for protection-besides Premier Diefenbaker's political priming of what he likes to call "pro-Canadianism"-is the fast-spreading U.S. technique of "split-run" advertising; starting late last year, the Saturday Evening Post, McCall's, LIFE and Look opened Canadian-circulation copies to specifically Canadian advertising.

Among them: CJ Directions for making a "Kennedy quarter": take an ordinary 25? piece and some red fingernail polish or red crayon. Color George Washington's head down almost to the ear. Also color the lower part of Washington's neck, down to the coin...
Ridicule has always been a telling weapon in the fight against society's foibies. . . . Such an attempt at ridicule as Princeton's may be too obvious to call forth more than a tolerantly amused laugh from young and old alike; still it will attract attention, and that is probably all its progenitors hoped to achieve. The splendid points of the program, the stab at Congress that will drain its coffers painfully dry, the shaft directed at sometime patriots who in return for a sacrifice to their country now demand a neutralizing and unnecessary sacrifice, these are lost in the superficial...
