Once again, freshman Tiina Bougas got the netwomen off to a good start by defeating Wendy Wasson at first singles, 6-2, 7-5. Playing on the slower indoor surface, Bougas' game was unaffected as she controlled the base-line contest against her surprising Big Green counterpart...
Johnson: Let's start with the positive qualities. This is a very serious man, a serious man who has informed himself on issues marvelously well. Intellect--a first-rate mind. Well-disciplined. Hard worker. Honorable--old-fashioned word. Integrity--I believe it, a lot of people don't. Those are all very positive things.

Watson had setbacks along the way. In the 1974 U.S. Open, he led by three strokes at the start of the final round, but collapsed and finished tied for fifth.

He not only won the Masters, he beat Nicklaus by two strokes...

Since going national last year they have broadened their targets to include school busing and the Panama Canal treaty McAteer (against), Taiwan security and prosecution of welfare deadbeats (for). Three U.S. Senators and eleven Congressmen form an advisory committee. In its first year, the group claims to have enlisted 187,000 supporters, a fifth of them clergy, and it plans to spend $3 million in 1980. Voice has no tax exemption so it can be openly...
