HAYDN: QUARTETS, OPUS 54 (Westminster). The London-based Allegri String Quartet definitively explores three of the "Tost" quartets, all of which are characterized by the predominant role of the first violin, here brilliantly played by Eli Goren. In the C Major he tirelessly weaves a long garland of arpeggios and trills, then plunges into an adagio of exceptional beauty, tracing a hopeful obbligato above a deep-voiced Hungarian lament...
Colgate's victory over Yale was surprisingly close. The Eli offense, though it chalked up 204 yards, made few serious scoring threats; but their defense kept the game in doubt until the last minute of play.

But they also knew that more than 80% of "cured" addicts promptly relapsed, and they wondered whether continued treatment with methadone would keep them off their "horse...
...With Fortas' appointment, the Supreme Court will take on a decided Eli tinge. Justices Potter Stewart and Byron White also attended Yale, and Justice William O. Douglas was a member of the faculty before he joined the New Deal. No other law school can claim more than one of the court's nine Justices...
