...primary source of Met strength this year lay in the fluid arms of Pitchers Tom Seaver (season record: 25-7) and Jerry Koosman (17-9), who were backed up by a supporting cast of splendid young hurlers. But with the exception of Ryan, the 22-year-old righthander who tossed seven innings of brilliant baseball in the final game, the pitchers were way below par during the playoffs. In the first two games Seaver and Koosman compiled embarrassing earned-run averages...

Later they tried to soothe irked professors by vowing that "no political tests shall ever be considered" in faculty hiring and promotion.

There is something endearing about ambition that limits itself to work so well within the bounds of art and finds a lifetime of satisfaction in the transformation of simple animal forms into elegant shapes. When old age stopped him from working, Brancusi spent his days fondling his precious "children," as he called his sculptures, covering them with dust cloths every night. And when he willed them to Paris' Museum of Modern Art, he did so on the condition that they be displayed in an accurate reconstruction of the crowded Montparnasse shack in which he-and they...
