Saturday, November 1-- Without their stellar quarterback, Penn collapses in a paroxysm of blocked punts, interceptions, and fumbles. Disguised as Mayor Frank Rizzo and hobbling on crutches, a Penn student attempts to steal the Harvard band's drum, but is discovered and soundly trounced. Graustein, meanwhile, has claimed he was drugged. Harvard...
...Beverly. I'll never forget reading Frank Kofksy's liner notes on Coltrane's Selflessness album--that's the one with the fast version of My Favorite Things on side two. Roy Haynes was substituting for Coltrane's regular man, Elvin Jones, doing what I think was the finest drum work on any of the MFT cuts that Trane recorded.

...Whose Drum? The mini-mutiny raised a question that is being asked more and more frequently in Portugal: To whose drum are the soldiers marching?

...flintlock" rifle promotion is not living up to expectations-perhaps because of proliferation of Bicentennial products. Doubtless anticipating such a reaction, Crestline, a well-established maker of colonial furniture, has come out with what might be called an anti-Bicentennial ad. Beneath a photo of the familiar fife-and-drum trio marching off into the mist with backs turned to the camera, the ad asserts: "Soon 1976 will be gone, along with the bicentennial. All the hooplas will be over. And all the guys who made a fast buck in Early American furniture will be looking for something...
