...Dame out of the No. 1 spot in the 1964 rankings. "Sure I want the title," Parseghian admits. "What else is there to shoot for, since we don't belong to any conference or go to post-season bowls?" In the meantime, though, he is playing it mighty cool with his sensational sophomores. "They have a lot of ability; that has been proven. Just give us credit for recognizing it," he says.

Compared with heavy Romanesque, their architecture seemed to defy gravity, lifting lacy ceilings that appeared to float like airy tents above thin columns of jasper and porphyry, while within each courtyard water splashed from fountains, turning their Islamic buildings into cool cases in stone...

Articulate, supremely cool, the Toronto-born violinist was appointed concertmaster of the London Royal Philharmonic at 24, then played in the same capacity with the Amsterdam Concertgebouw before going to Chicago in 1962. Says he: "The days of the swaying, anticipating, overanxious concertmaster are over. Today, masterly musicianship and maximum self-control are the order...
