Boston frustrated Joe Namath and the Jets early in the game with an unusual defense created by coach Clive Rush to stop Namath, the quarterback, from racking up long yardage on his passes.

...book and a production as badly in need of girls as its miners. On paper, Lerner's improved libretto-and a score with some new music by Andre Previn-seemed to hit the mother lode. But that was before the director made it a fool's Gold Rush. Lee Marvin has done what he could to give the wagon a push onscreen. But the only motion that can give this Loganized vehicle velocity is promotion...
