Dick Clasby, playing on the third line, evened the score at 15:21 of the period with the prettiest play of the night. He took center Frank Mahoney's pass just back of the blue line, bore right through the middle of the B.U. defense, and boat Bradley...
Each number, whether a melancholy Bunny or Plymouth Rock or a driving version of Lulu's Back in Town, bore the basic Basie imprint.

Five saxophones took up the melody, sweetly and a bit hoarsely, and then seven brasses began to clip into it with cross rhythms.

Supporting the transport and LSTs was the largest fleet concentration in naval history-nearly 1,500 war vessels, more than 40 aircraft carriers, 18 battleships, scores of cruisers. On the outer ring of the armada, far beyond the men on the bridges of the lordly carriers, rode the destroyers, the "small boys" of the fleet, charged with...
