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...

...MARIA MULDAUR--At press time, it was still impossible to tell whether the Hot Licks had given their Hicks up, or if Dan Hicks had simply gotten in his last licks. In either case, Hicks, sans Licks, will appear Sunday night at Symphony Hall, probably playing the same undefinable mish-mash of rock, jug-band, and jazz-type numbers he played with his group. 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...
