Spencer Haywood, a prodigious jumper under the boards, has just taken the longest leap of his life-from the American Basketball Association to the rival National Basketball Association. In so doing, he stirred up a flurry of lawsuits, restraining orders, injunctions and protests that struck at the very structure of pro basketball.

Diamond was a good musical tailor, but he managed to move up and out of the Alley in a hurry. Today, at 29, he is a smooth, inventive composer-performer with various talents that have enabled him not only to bridge the generation gap but to leap all the way from commercial pop to rock stardom. In the past three years, Diamond has turned out enough hit songs (among them: Kentucky Woman and Sweet Caroline) to keep the current champion, Burt Bacharach, watchful and busy. But where Bacharach plods as a performer, Diamond dances...
