...incongruous than an ice-hockey game played just before Memorial Day. Or, for that matter, a basketball game. But that is exactly what fans will be facing this week as the long, long hockey and basketball seasons finally wind down with championship play-offs between the Philadelphia Flyers and Buffalo Sabres on melting ice, and the Washington Bullets and Golden State Warriors on overheated courts. If the action is anywhere near as dramatic as the semifinal rounds, few fans will complain about delaying the season's first trip to the beach...
Shero still faces the most important part of this season: the finals against high-scoring Buffalo, which will be the N.H.L.'s first championship series between two expansion teams. Fired along by the shooting punch of its "French Connection" line-Center Gilbert Perreault and Wingers Rene Robert and Richard Martin-Buffalo reached the finals by humiliating the Montreal Canadiens four games to two. The outcome of the Flyers-Sabres series, which opened last week with a 4-to-l Flyers victory, should boil down to how well Goalie Bernie Parent and Philadelphia's hard-checking defense contain...
...well-heeled fans who contributed up to $250 apiece for seats at the Film Society of Lincoln Center benefit. "It's really a celebration of celluloid," quipped Newman, who sported a beard he had grown for his title role in Robert Altman's upcoming film, Buffalo Bill.

A gregarious, backslapping lawyer in Buffalo, Republican Keating served six terms in the House before winning a Senate seat in 1958. "Politics," he joked, "is the ability to get money from the rich and votes from the poor while convincing both you are protecting each from the other." Crushed by Bobby Kennedy in his bid for reelection, Keating was named ambassador to India in 1969, and to Israel in 1973. In these posts he evolved a characteristically jocular definition of diplomacy: "Remembering a lady's birthday...
...summary, of the ten cities which have studied the effects of busing on the achievement levels of school children, one shows moderate gains (Sacramento), two showed mixed results (Hartford/New Haven, Rochester), three are inconclusive (Buffalo, Evanston, White Plains) and four show either houses or no significant gains (Ann Arbor, Berkeley, Boston, Riversides). In every city studied busing failed to reduce the gap between black and white achievement. In fact most cities reported that the achievement gap had grown even larger after busing. Scholars who have reviewed the evidence, including Armor, Bell, Edmonds, Giazer, and St. John, have concluded that using...
