Midway through the period, Gilligan, with Bill Horton off for charging, set up the first of four goals for which he was responsible by stealing the puck from the Crimson defense. Brown's leading scorer then shoveled it in front to an uncovered Bob McIntosh, whose flip shot eluded Brain Petrovek and gave the Bruins a lead which they never lost...
...part in the first "happening" along with composer John Cage and working alongside writers such as Charles Olson and Robert Creeley (Olson once composed a prose choreography for Cunningham called "Apollonius of Tyana."). Cunningham is known for using chance methods in his choreography, even to the point where the flip of a coin would determine the next movement in a dance...
Taken one by one, the remaining essays seem rather thin. Only Brown's essay can fill in their background. Robert Rauschenberg contributes a few clipped comments, refusing to let his years as Cunningham's manager and designer "be short-changed by memory or two-dimensional facts." His words seem flip until Brown's narrative tells how exciting was his time with the company and how sad and little-discussed his leaving. Similarly, former manager Lewis Lloyd's hard-headed opinions on how to run a company sound less obstreperous after Brown details Cunningham's peculiar brand of leadership...

The old man walks out from behind the counter and spreads change for the juke box on top of a gorged flip-top trash barrel. There is a die and a hinge in the collection of coins. I think that he's a scavenger, like the pick-pocket; even his shoes, with the heels sagging off his ankles like pouting lips, look as though they were plucked out of an alley...
