...crisis. When Lucy Jarvis produces a big documentary-Khrushchev, Picasso, Christiaan Barnard-she taps Newman for his narrative authority and scriptwriting dexterity. About twice a month, Meet the Press summons Newman to play moderator. Speaking Freely, Newman's urbane interview series with the likes of Harold Macmillan, Rudolf Bing and Physicist Hans Bethe, is so bright, lively and informative that 50 Public TV stations across the nation now carry...
Sharpshooting guards Dave Bing and Jimmy Walker rallied the Detroit Pistons from a 52-48 deficit at half-time to a 109-98 victory over the Boston Celtics Wednesday night at the Garden. The win gave Detroit a 2-1 advantage in the NBA Eastern Division semifinal playoffs. The best-of-seven series resumes Thursday night in Detroit...
Speed & Spring. Against Philadelphia and Wilt Chamberlain early in the season, Bing popped in 40 points to help the Pistons break a two-year, 16-game losing streak to the N.B.A. champions. Last month, on the night Bill Bradley was making his debut with the Knicks, Bing stole the show and the ballgame with 32 points.

That shot more or less typifies Bing's style. He is not a long-range shooter, lobbing them in from 20 to 25 ft. away. Piston Coach Donnie Butcher says that two or three other Piston players are more accurate shots. What Bing developed at Washington, D.C.'s Spin-garn High School and later at Syracuse, is the whippet-like speed and agility with which he slides past, spins around, or ducks under bigger, clumsier defenders, as he drives in for close-range lay-ups and hooks. He also has fantastic spring. When he uncoils and jumps...
Stitches & Sponges. All the hot-rod-ding around in heavy traffic naturally has its perils. At last count, Bing has had 28 stitches taken in his face, and the fingers of his right hand have been jammed so often that he tapes a sponge above his knuckles for protection. But Detroit will keep him out there if they have to stick him together with Elmer's Glue-All. A couple of years ago, the Pistons occasionally had trouble luring 1,000 people into Cobo Arena to see them play. This year, attendance averages 7,500, and six times...
