...turn the game around, and the fans on. It became 4-2 at 15:55 when Bobby McDonald fed a perfect backhand centering pass to Tommy Murray for Harvard's second tally. And 34 seconds later, with 3:31 remaining in the game, it suddenly became a contest, as retread Billy Nolen ripped home Barney Cook's face-off pass to make...

...vocal accompaniment by Andrew Gold and Kenny Edwards supplement Ronstadt's wide ranging but perfectly controlled performance on "Many Rivers to Cross," a rather clumsily-worded song that could easily be a bore. Ronstadt has never been more relaxed and poised than in "Tracks of My Tears," an unremarkable retread recorded by performers ranging from Smokey Robinson to Aretha Franklin to Johnny Rivers. Her subtle interpretation infuses it with a genuine but understated pathos. The song is striking proof of Ronstadt's artistic maturity: two or three years ago she probably would have let her voice get away from...

...Rock wisdom that diamonds are a girl's best friend. That was in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the musical hit that made her an instant star. It may be too late to revive that show, which never laughed quite hard enough at itself, but Lorelei is a particularly tawdry retread. Jule Styne has added a few routine songs; and the book, originally by Anita Loos and Joseph Fields, has been updated by Kenny Solms and Gail Parent.

...Bruins, now leading 3-2 in games, fell victim to overconfidence and a tenacious Ranger effort in Tuesday's game which saw some atypical Boston scoring difficulties, notably on the part of Phil Esposito, and the offensive resurgence of Ranger retread Bobby Rousseau, who scored both the tying and winning goals...

Since Broadway is a trifle short of inspiration these days, the story of Applause is a retread of the 1950 movie All About Eve. A young actress, Eve Harrington (Penny Fuller), carefully masks her ambitions in order to insinuate herself into the friendship and concern of an established theater star, Margo Channing (Bacall). Middle age is the devil's prompter in Marge's mind, popping biting retorts in her mouth about the jeopardy of fame, and chilling qualms in her heart about her love affair with a younger director (Len Cariou). With serpentine guile and horizontal campaigning...
