Larousse Encyclopedia of Music. Edited by Geoffrey Hindley. 576 pages. World. $19.95.

Said Ford: "We all know what Chicago has done with its lakefront area. I think we in Detroit should be able to do at least as well along our own riverfront area...
...have to throw out the factors of emotion, excitement, and determination that make it "The Game" because they balance on both sides. You can throw out talent because both teams have proven that they don't have enough to blow the other squad out of the stadium...
