The final was so one-sided that it looked like the varsity scrimmaging the jayvees. The results of the key match-ups-Robertson v. Monroe, Alcindor v. Unseld-told the story. In the series, the Big O outscored the Pearl 94 to 65, while Lew topped Wes 108 to 60. Forward Jack Marin, the Bullets' highest scorer in the series, said of Alcindor: "Every time you make a move to the hoop...

Snared from Cincinnati in a masterful trading coup, Robertson is playing as well as he ever has in his ten-year N.B.A. career. Remarkably unselfish for a superstar...

...secure kind of pleasure to begin a novel by Canadian Writer Robertson Davies. This is not because the reader knows what will happen-Davies does not write formula fiction-but because he is serenely sure of what will not happen. The author will not hunt snarks, nor plant a forest of symbols and then get lost in it. Nor will he fail to have some compelling reason to write rather than remain silent...
