with apologies to Rudyard, the west does meet the east. . . . yes, even in California, wise westerners who want to woo wily easterners (New England variety) check their Hildreth Stations. Let's tune in on Charlie Farrell, nicker and TV flame, as he tells how to serve an "ace" every time in Maine. "Those Hildreth people have their "racquet" all figured out.
