...ancient art of recruiting. In the modest Dunn home, the phone jangled steadily with long-distance calls placed by nearly every major-college coach in the South, from Alabama's Paul Bryant to Arkansas' Frank Broyles. From Dartmouth came a circumspect and indirect inquiry. Notre Dame forwarded plane tickets to the Southern California game (Perry Lee mailed them right back: "I don't much like cold weather"), and victory-starved Mississippi State sent a plaintive note ("We all hope and pray that you will come with...
...book about acting. I still have it, but I've never read it." Happily she maintains, if not the innocence, at least the ingenuousness of the grown-up little girl who never stood on a Broadway stage until two years ago. "She'll be a grande dame of the theater by the time she's 40," says Director Penn, "but today she's marvelously uncivilized. Just about the only thing she couldn't do is a comedy of manners-and that's because she doesn't have them...

Capping its 20-19 defeat of Iowa the week before, Notre Dame disposed of nationally ranked U.S.C. 16-6 to end a dismal season (5-5) with a flourish...
...Philharmonic started business in 1860 with a program that included such contemporary crowd rousers as the overtures to Michele Carafa's La Prison d'Edimbourg and Francois Boieldieu's La Dame Blanche. Most of the time since, it has stuck to a rigid amateur policy; only the conductors and guest soloists are pros. Part of the orchestra's success stems from its organization; its governing board is made up of playing members, and each of the orchestra's 95 instrumentalists must survive an annual audition; if any player does not measure up, he loses...
