Australian Open History By 1972, the authorities decided that the Australian Open deserved a settled home, and the honour fell to the city that had attracted the greatest patronage - Melbourne. The Australian Open is perhaps the most adaptive of the Grand Slams, and as it enters its second century there are sure to be many new additions and memories created at one of the world's most special sporting events. In 1969 the Open era was born and the event's name changed again to the Australian Open. australian.open-tennis.com /history   (417 words)

Australian Open Tennis 2005 - History The tournament was first played in 1905 as The Australasian Championships, before becoming the Australian Championships in 1927 and the Australian Open in 1969. Melbourne Park (formerly Flinders Park) was constructed in time for the 1988 Open to meet the demands of the evolving tournament that had outgrown Kooyong's capacity. In 1972, it was decided to stage the Tournament in the one city each year, as opposed to visiting various states across the nation, and the Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club was selected due to Melbourne attracting the biggest patronage. www.australian-open-tennis.com /history.php   (189 words)

GAVIN'S PARATROOPERS and ALL THE WORLD'S COMBAT AIRBORNE OPERATIONS However, if the forces of freedom were more open-minded and "networked" like the John Paul Vann did until he died stopping the 1972 NVA invasion or the enemy in general did, we could have won the struggle sooner on the battlefield and not just wait for cultural changes to do it for us. Air Force Gen. Richard Myers said during a Pentagon briefing that the troops struck and destroyed an airfield in southern Afghanistan and a Taliban command and control center near Kandahar. George C. Kenney, the Fifth Air Force commander, conceived the attack as a means of catching the Japanese forces at Lae in a pinch between Airborne and Airlifted troops attacking from the northwest and infantry attacking up along the Huon Peninsula (sometimes called the Lae Peninsula) from the southeast. www.geocities.com /paratroop2000/paratrooper.htm   (18423 words)

Australian Manufacturing: A Brief History of Industry Policy and Trade Liberalisation (Research Paper 7 1999-2000) One reason why the strong move to trade liberalisation in the late 1980s and 1990s was politically acceptable was that it was part of a much wider reform movement to open up the Australian economy and make it internationally competitive. The start of the trade liberalisation process in the late 1960s and early 1970s was a slow and hard fought battle to persuade governments, industry and unions that the move to a more open trading economy was in Australia's best interests. The floating of the Australian dollar allowed trade liberalisation to be pursued more as a microeconomic (efficiency) objective rather than as a macroeconomic objective as had been the case with the earlier 25 per cent tariff cut. www.aph.gov.au /library/pubs/rp/1999-2000/2000rp07.htm   (151 words)
