"For me," says Levine, "it would mean that any mistake that happens then would happen because I had lousy judgment, instead of a mistake happening because we couldn't time the moves right."

...relaxed, reassuring attitude persists when Levine puts down his baton and attends to the details of running the Met in association with General Manager Anthony A. Bliss.

John Womack, Bliss Professor of Latin American History and Economics, is another basketball buff. Before he let the game go one and a half years ago, he used to play at lunchtime with Repetto, who reminisces. "John is not particularly athletic, but he is aggressive." Womack quit the game during his leave because, he says. "I didn't want to spend the time when all my time was my own. Now I don't have the time, literally, to do it in the middle of the day. And you can't play in the morning, and by night...
