...Second. Afterward Bubas called it "the greatest comeback any Duke team has ever staged"-a little regretfully, perhaps, because showmanship is not Vic's cup of tea. (Nor Michigan's apparently, because the demoralized Wolverines went out and got clobbered again, 79-64, by little Butler.) "Basketball should be businesslike," says Bubas, and from his walnut-paneled executive suite on the Durham, N.C., campus, he directs Duke's basketball fortunes with the crisp efficiency of an investment banker.

To give it life and thrust, music of explosive lyric power and sweep was needed. Rorem, a conservative composer who scorns the avant-garde ("They are all writing the same piece"), provided instead a score that is largely music-to-probe-the-subconscious-by-moody, groaning, occasionally dissonant.
