...Harvard coach Frank McLaughlin has revitalized Harvard's basketball program. McLaughlin brings with him a spirit that the IAB has lacked for some time now. Satch, an ex-Boston Celtic, was a great player and a knowledgable coach, but he was quiet, low-key, and just the wrong man for Harvard. The Crimson program needs someone to pick it up off the floor and kick it back into shape. It needs an active, aggressive leader. McLaughlin can be that type of leader and he has wasted no time starting...

The music is quiet and lyrical, and another aspect of Costello's instrumental skill is revealed in the reflective, jazz-like guitar figures he plays under the vocal. The words, however, belie the tradition of rock and roll ballads to lost loves. Yes, there's sadness there for what used to be--but the norm in classic rock lyrics is the graceful acquiescence, and Costello will...
