...York, hallowed old Yankee Stadium, the house that Ruth built, reopened in plushly refurbished form, its dedication presided over by Mayor Abraham Beame. It was 53 years from Babe to Abe, but the difference in what a community will lavish on its sports team could be measured in lightyears. Trembling at the thought that its Yankees might leave town forever, the stone-broke metropolis ponied up an estimated $100 million to provide the likes of 6,900 parking spaces and an electronic Scoreboard for the fans, expansive lavender-carpeted dressing rooms for the players and a plush lounge, featuring overstuffed...

A plush veneer--carpets, mirrors, glittered cushions--has been splashed over the walls and floors. In the middle, in the big empty space, people are dancing. From up above them seem one pulsating mass--a motley, throbbing protoplasm that expands and contracts in rhythm to the newest disco song. As the music reaches fever pitch, it threatens to engulf the upper mezzanines, slide out to the hallway, push itself out the door and burst smokily all over Lansdowne...
