Garner $100 between you and the three other members of you tin-alley string quartet, and Richard Mackey, BSO horn player will run through the Mozart horn quintet (K. 407) with your group.

For the third time in the past 13 months, a federal judge last week found the N.F.L.'s reserve system in violation of antitrust laws. This time, ruling on a suit filed by John Mackey, former Colts tight end and past president of the N.F.L. Players Association, Minneapolis Judge Earl Larson ripped the so-called Rozelle rule, linchpin of the reserve system.
