During the summer, Times Remembered hands over to children from abroad who bring us memories of the countries they call home.
They tell us, too, of the customs and the people of the foreign country where they now live - Great Britain.

This week: Billie Jean - 'I hate to lose'
The Wimbledon crowds used to call Billie-Jean King 'Little Miss Moffitt.' They laughed both with her and at her as she snapped and snarled around the Centre Court.
But later the crowds turned sour. They thought the game was the thing and what they saw as 'gamesmanship' was bad sportsmanship. They objected loudly to her behaviour and tactics and suddenly they liked - and even wanted - to see her beaten.
We all know what happened at Wimbledon this year, but 1969 was a decisive year for Billie-Jean. Man Alive looked behind the scenes then at the girl who hates to lose and goes to such extraordinary lengths to win.

Passing through a backwoods American town, Joe Wilson is arrested, on the flimsiest of evidence, for the kidnapping of a small girl. When an angry lynch-mob sets fire to the jail Joe is apparently killed.
In one of the screen's most powerful indictments of mob rule, Spencer Tracy stars as the innocent Joe, who, robbed of his trust in human beings, plans a terrible revenge on his would-be lynchers.
