...stalled the Flyers' attack and turned the series around. By winning three straight, they forced a decisive seventh game last week. But there the Islanders' improbable success story came to an abrupt end. The Philadelphia team, which began the final game with the good-luck singing of Kate Smith (the Flyers have a record of 43-3-1 after her performances of God Bless America before home games), protected its league championship with a 4-to-l victory. Said Flyer Coach Fred Shero, with obvious relief: "Nobody had better take the Islanders for granted next season...

Krag was eating dinner at Jordan K one night last spring when the musical director of Kiss Me Kate began to complain about his accompanist, who wasn't any good. Krag "jumped at the chance" to accompany the musical and pretty soon was showing up for every rehearsal, an unheard of thing for an accompanist to do. That led to an offer for the next fall to be associate music director with John Posner for Fiorello!, a Grant-In-Aid production, which led to an offer this spring from the Gilbert and Sullivan board, to be music director of Princess...
