Evert Aims for Wimbledon History as Young Champion
Chris Evert of Fort Lauderdale seeks the Wimbledon women’s title, aiming to become the youngest champion since Maureen Connolly in 1952 at 18 years 7 months. Billie Jean King trails in pursuit of her fifth Wimbledon singles title, while fourth seed Evert and second seed King have met once on grass, with King winning that encounter. The men’s final will feature Alex Metreveli and Jan Kodes, both from Eastern Europe, as Metreveli defeats Mayer and Kodes ousts Taylor.

Handling broker liquidations under SIPC protection rules
Byron Woodside explains SIPC supervised liquidations of 87 broker-dealers aim to protect customers and maintain confidence. Most customers receive court notices within a week and cash or securities within a month if records are clear, longer otherwise. The SIPC guarantees up to 50 000 dollars per customer, with no more than 20 000 in cash, and substitutions allowed if assets are missing. If claims exceed 50 000 dollars, the excess becomes a general creditor claim.
