...usual effect is heady reappraisal. One famed fellow recalls that his pre-Casbah world had shriveled to six friends with the same opinion. At his first Casbah meal, he was plumped down with a sociologist, a historian and a literary critic. "That first luncheon," he said, "was like opening windows in a stuffy room." Equally impressive is Yale Neurosurgeon Karl Pribram's summation. For him the Casbah's value lay as much in a personal boost as in other people's ideas. "You have no administration, no classes, no students. You can evaluate your own work...
Time and again, Syracuse's winged-T play seemed to be going to the left when Negro Sophomore Halfback Ernie Davis suddenly flashed back to take the ball and smash through the right side of the West Virginia line in a scissor-like reverse. Twice, the sturdy (6 ft. 2 in., 205 lbs.), sprinting Davis got away for touchdown runs of 57 and 29 yds. When the defense shifted to contain him, burly Fullback Art Baker, an intercollegiate wrestling champion who can run the 100 in 10.1 seconds, blasted up the middle as undefeated Syracuse steamrollered...

Although Yehudi, 43, is the more famous of the Menuhins, there is plenty of evidence that 38-year-old Hephzibah shares his gifts. An infant prodigy like Yehudi, she was discouraged by the family from following a concert career, but was allowed to play occasionally with her brother in teen-age recitals that astounded critics with their power and perception. When she was 18 she married Lindsay Nicholas, brother of Yehudi's wife Nola, and retired with him to a 24,000-acre sheep ranch in Australia. Hephzibah returned briefly to the U.S. and European concert circuit...
Hephzibah is still not tempted, she insists, to seek a concert career, but she enormously enjoys playing with Yehudi: "If we're in a good mood we tell each other the music as though we'd never heard it before. It's like when spring comes. It's always the most beautiful spring you've ever seen...
