Good Manners. In Chicago, where two armories provided tennis fans their only outlet for 20 years, eleven indoor emporiums now thrive, including the swish two-year-old courts in suburban Winnetka financed by the Arthur C. Nielsens (of ratings fame) and the swish Lake Bluff Bath and Tennis Club, whose ultra-exclusive membership (an applicant must have "good tennis manners and be a nice person") has access to squash courts, an ice-skating rink, sauna and toboggan hill in addition to two quality indoor courts.

Some students seek to mitigate the trauma of organic chemistry by taking it in summer when it is supposedly easier. (It is not so, incidently, unless you thrive on two hours of class and six of lab every day).

Behind forbidding stone walls broods "the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street"-the Bank of England-which controls the currency that finances 40% of all international trade. Clustered near by, interspersed with some 30 churches built by Christopher Wren, are 150 banking houses with such famous names as Barclays, Midland and Lloyds. British banks have for generations made the whole world their oyster, have extensive and direct knowledge of business conditions and customers overseas. Altogether, they have...
