...Band. I saw them at the Jazz Workshop about a month ago. Since Muddy likes to take it easy these days and the crowd was sparse, Spann did most of the singing. Spann lived a lot of his life in Mississippi and his singing and piano style reflect his past. His Southern accent is heavy and his voice is a mixture of pain and suffering--and the ironic sense of humor which is essential to the Blues. His style is relaxed and easy. One of his show piece numbers is called "My Home is in the Delta...

...made some notable and very successful attempts to shape his art to political necessity, as in "I'm Black And I'm Proud." Frankly, though, J.B. does not seem very comfortable dealing with politics. His own personal wishes seem closer to what he has done in the past, that is pure entertainment, despite his recent pronouncements on the political and economic condition of the race. Since he is so much the influential figure, no one can doubt that he will be under increasing pressure to follow somebody's political line. It should be very interesting to watch the quantity...

...chief stumbling block is All-American goal-tender Ken Dryden--the single most important reason for Cornell's success in the past three years. The 6-3, 210-pound Dryden is the East's top defender, averaging less than two goals allowed per game. If he is hot, Harvard's chances will be virtually...

...This is another story about Biafra. We all know about Biafra--it's where a million people have starved to death in the past six months. One million people. Think about that for a minute. There are almost five thousand Harvard undergraduates. If each one of us died two hundred times, that would be almost a million deaths. Almost, but not quite. Yes, we all know about Biafra...
