Rare Treat. Cheers are a rare treat for the Black Hawks-the only team in the National Hockey League that has never won a championship. "If we won 69 games and lost only one," grouses Goalie Glenn Hall, "the fans would boo us for that one loss." But things are looking up. Last week's victory over Boston was the Hawks' fifth straight. Three nights later, they made it six in a row, shellacking the front-running Montreal Canadiens 6-3, to move within a game of the league lead...
...Swingle Singers, however, sing it straight in the most elementary scat dialect-mainly "da-ba, da-ba" and "doo-boo, doo-boo," with an occasional "papa-da, chin-chin" or "waap" tossed in for special accents.

...Callas enjoyed a tremendous success in Paris as Norma [June 26]; the boos came from the anti-Callas faction. They may boo her, but they really pay her the highest compliment by paying "Callas prices" at the box office. They may hate her, but they just can't stay away...
