...most important of these acquisitions was Bobby Orr, who some hockey experts believe is already the best all-round player in the game's history. In his first season (1966), he was the N.H.L.'s rookie of the year and made the All-Star team (on which he has played ever since). In 1970, he won the N.H.L. awards for best defenseman, highest scorer and most valuable player. Amazingly, for a defenseman, Orr this season broke six scoring records, including most assists (102, beating his own record of 87) and most goals by a defenseman...
...rare needle. In his 30 years on Broadway, Cohen has developed an unusually cozy rapport with his stars. He publicizes them lavishly, respects their artistic judgments, and is an all-round problem-solver. When Cohen's 1964 Hamlet, Richard Burton, and his wife wanted tickets to the Frazier-Ali fight, they naturally rang up Alex (he got them a pair, but they didn't go). "How do you treat a star?" asks Alex. "Like a star." That is a little difficult at the Tonys where everyone is a star. He can provide them all with limousines...
...will take Murphy a bit longer to come up to his own standards. Like Rookie Pete Maravich of the Atlanta Hawks, he is still making the difficult adjustment from the high-scoring college "gunner" to the all-round player demanded by the pros. Primarily, he is working on defense and on passing off to the open man in offensive patterns -skills that were of secondary importance when he played for Niagara University and averaged 33.1 points per game, the third highest career mark in N.C.A.A. history. Murphy has no trouble hitting the hoop; though used sparingly in the early part...
TIGHT END. Jan White, Ohio State, 6 ft. 2 in., 216 lbs. Rated by football men as "one of the best all-round athletes in sight," White is a triple threat-a remarkably versatile player whom the pros could easily turn into a wide receiver or a running back. Swift, shifty and sticky-fingered, he is a crunching blocker whom the experts admire for his amazingly consistent performances and his all-devouring desire. He has played in only one losing game in his high school and college career...
...provided nearly a lifetime's impetus toward artistic creation." Wilson's scrutiny of the fierce personal drive that transformed an anonymous, victimized lad into the inimitable Boz opens the way to a shrewd, wide-ranging analysis of Dickens' life and work. The result is the best all-round book on the subject for the general reader in years. Absorbing, gracefully written, freshly thought out, it is, in addition, that rare hybrid, a coffee-table book with both brains and beauty. The glossy pages are strewn with well-selected (though skimpily captioned) illustrations that vividly reflect the squalor...
