Patterson, for all his 21 K.O.s in 29 pro victories, could not even tumble Hurricane. The tall boy merely scowled, in the seventh even had the strength to blow up a storm of his own. His bee-swarming attack of pushes and pawings mixed with a few punches had Patterson going backward for the greater part of three rounds. But Patterson was more chastened than hurt; he came back in the final rounds with a crowd-rousing demonstration of a light-heavy frappéing the brains of a cast-iron heavyweight. Jackson somehow stayed on his feet, twice taking...
...years ago, when she was only eleven, pretty, brown-eyed Melody Sachko (rhymes with Natch, Joe) had plodded through to the finals of the annual Scripps-Howard National Spelling Bee. But that time, the Pittsburgh policeman's daughter tripped over atelier (she spelled it "ate-lia") and wound up in sixth place. Then Melody's mother, Natalie, took over. She drilled Melody over the dishwashing, left her little time for her favorite diversion: shooting pool in the basement. Thumbing through dictionaries, Natalie Sachko typed out some 25,000 words-each with its correct pronunciation and meaning-on individual...

...horrors (suzerainty, baccivorous, ichthyology) flew at her, Melody said a few silent prayers. Once she thought she was a goner: Does deciduous begin with des or dec? Haltingly, she guessed right. But the Bee took its toll: foundering on defilade, 13-year-old Cynthia Kertos of Cleveland wept...
Concert of three of the most meaty and grand violin-and-piano sonatas in Paine Hall Friday: the Brahms A-Major, Prokofiev D-Major, and Bee-thoven C-Minor. More laurels to Dunster pianist Robert Freeman for the impeccable and consistently compelling performance that we have come to expect of him. Violinist David Spencer, a Wesleyan junior, left much to be desired. His playing lacked tension, was matter-of-fact and on the surface, and at times harsh and out of tune. He is definitely no Heifetz or Hurwitz...
