Unlike its immediate predecessors, a mish-mash of veterans and youngsters, the 1979-80 version of Crimson hockey played as a unit. And every member of the unit knows it could have, and should have, more to show than 13th in the standings and a year of "almosts...
Those with Trek credentials will recognize that the plot is primarily a mish-mash of three of the original television episodes--"The Changeling," "The Immunity Syndrome," and "The Doomsday Machine"--each of which had something interesting to say, and said it in less than one hour...

Nobody on the newsboard had any of his records, so I dug up one semi-authoritative opinion: "His music's like thirties' jazz mixed in with a soap commercial." But the consensus...
