“A FANNIE B. STONE TRADITIONAL SERVICE”
Serena Williams came back from a set down to defeat Sloane Stephens 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 on Mon- day, booking her place in the quarter-finals of the 2015 French Open.
The tournament’s official Twit- ter account confirmed Williams’ titanic victory, where she saw her fortitude tested to the extreme by a contender gradually clawing her way into the elite of world tennis:
One might have expected the 22-year-old Stephens to feel some sense of intimidation against the world No. 1, but there was no evidence to suggest as much with the manner in which she began her assault.
The youngster battled the odds to take a 1-0 lead after the first

game, breaking the top seed’s serve to leave the Roland Garros crowd in some state of shock as to just how comfortable she ap- peared.
Tracy Morgan Speaks For First Time About Accident
An emotional Tracy Morgan spoke with Today’s Matt Lauer for the first time since a 2014 ac- cident in which, police say, the driver of a Wal-Mart delivery truck didn’t see slow-moving traf- fic and crashed into the back of Morgan’s limousine. The acci- dent, which happened on the New Jersey Turnpike as Morgan and friends were returning from a comedy show in Dover, Del., took the life of Morgan’s friend James “Jimmy Mac” McNair and severely injured two others. Morgan suffered several broken bones and severe brain trauma. He was in a coma for two weeks following the accident.
With tears streaming down his face, Morgan told Lauer that he didn’t remember the accident and didn’t learn of his friend’s death until almost two weeks later when he came out of the coma.
Morgan told Lauer that the newly reached Wal-Mart settle-

ment has added some peace to his healing process, since he knows that McNair’s family has been fi- nancially taken care of as a result of an undisclosed agreement with Wal-Mart.
“I’m happy that Wal-Mart stepped up to the plate in a tremendous way,” he said.
He added: “Bones heal, and the loss of my friend will never heal.”
Racist Dr. Seuss Drawing Gets No Bidders, Yet
Before Dr. Seuss became a popular children's author, he apparently worked as an illustrator of racist cartoons. Now, one of the works is up for auc- tion as his legacy take a major blow.
In a 1929 illustration for Judge magazine, he depicted Black people for sale with a racist sign in the image's background, according to BET..."Take home a high-grade n****r for your woodpile. Satisfaction guaranteed," reads the heading.
The illustration went to auction in California at the Nate D. Sanders Fine Autographs and Memorabilia house with a minimum bid of $20,000 on Thursday, CNN reports. By the end, there hadn't been any bids, but it could receive a post-auction bid, according to Laura Yntema, the auction manager, BET says. The drawing is one part of a four-part panel drawing called "Cross- Section of the World's Most Prosperous Department Store," the report notes.
Dr. Seuss created several offensive cartoons early in his career, but began to atone for his previous views producing several anti-racism illustrations and cartoons, notes the online news site.
