...necessarily who won or lost a particular contest, but how and why they came to be winners or losers and what it all means to the players and to the game. That, in sum, is our philosophy of how we should cover sports. And so our Sport team, headed by Senior Editor George G. Daniels, pushes aside the routine and instead seeks out insights that will fit stories into the larger context of what sports have to do with life...
With all that money rolling in (the Toronto Maple Leafs alone have turned a profit of $6,000,000 over the past six years), the N.H.L. was in no particular hurry to chance the risks of expansion. That attitude hardly pleased hockey-hungry Western fans, who had got a taste of the game with minor-league teams and now wanted to see some big-league action; it also did nothing for the morale of up-and-coming young players, hundreds of whom languished in the minors, waiting for somebody to retire or be sent down so they could get their...

Each symphony is also being released separately, and the Eighth, in particular, is not to be missed, as Bernstein masses his musical forces, in this case, the London Symphony Orchestra, for an impassioned yes to the whole cosmos...
...company changes material for each of its four weekend shows, so no particular performance can be predicted. Among the winners in its repertoire to date are a parody of Leonard Bernstein's condescending "Young People's Concerts," a wedding-night sex manual reading (sex is always funny), and an interview with Chancellor Kiesinger on the remnants of Nazism in Germany...
