...passionate music buff and audiophile, Lintgen (pronounced Lint-jen) has been regaling friends with the stunt for five years, ever since being challenged at a party and finding, to his surprise, that he could do it. He has also been put to the test by skeptical musicians and critics, as well as by James ("The Amazing") Randi, a professional magician who specializes in debunking claims of "paranormal" phenomena. Performing recently for a television crew from That's Incredible! he scored 20 for 20 in a demonstration set up by Temple University Musicologist Stimson Carrow...
Suddenly things are different. Yale now wears the bell-bottoms in the Ivy League family. Their president gets attacked by Spiro Agnew. Their Classics Professor Erich Segal writes a "novel" about Youth Romance Today (Jen...what would you say if I told you...I think...I'm in love with you." "I would say...you were full of shit." The ellipses are his.) which clings moistly to the top of the bestseller lists, bringing lumpen to the throats of the proletariat (because a baker's daughter can marry a banker's son, even if she dies forthwith) while Harvard classicists...
Moments before Landry tallied the game winner, Ferrante showed how a wing half can effectively lead the offensive siege. Taking a pass from inside half Jen Greeley, Ferrante broke down the left side and drew two defenders toward her before centering to the cutting Carrillo.

The inside halfs, freshmen Greeley and Ingra Larsen, used their superior trapping ability and their strong all-around play to turn sloppy loose...
...chen Chen, 31, life in the U.S. was splendid. He had just signed a new three-year contract to teach statistics at Carnegie-Mellon University. He and his Taiwanese wife Su-jen, both certified "permanent residents," owned their Pittsburgh house and doted on their year-old son Eric. In May, as the school year ended, Chen and his family flew home to Taiwan for their first visit since he came to the U.S. in 1975. Six weeks into that sentimental journey, Wen-chen Chen was picked up for interrogation by Taiwanese security police and questioned for 13 hours about...
...kind of warm, richly singing sound that is characteristic of a violin. Which makes sense, since Ormandy was trained as a violinist. His father, a music-loving dentist in Budapest, wanted him to be a famous virtuoso like the Hungarian Jenö Hubay. Little Eugene obliged by making his debut at seven and touring Europe in his teens. But at 21, he was lured to the U.S. and then stranded by bungling promoters. Alone in New York, he was literally down to his last nickel when he landed a job in the orchestra that played between movies at the Capitol...
