...Princeton game started sluggishly, with both teams playing cautious ball-control basketball, and after 14 minutes of play the score was only 17-17. Then Sedlacek took over. He scored twice in two minutes on three point plays, hit a long jumper and three foul shots to put Harvard in front at halftime, 36 to 25. Sedlacek had 20 points during the first half...
...MANCHA (Kapp). The cast recording of the season's most imaginative musical betrays the play's sentimentality but boasts a tuneful if obvious score by Mitch Leigh, who has composed everything from opera to TV commercials. Joan Diener exaggerates her trollop's complaints as she screeches "One pair of arms is like another," but Richard Kiley as Don Quixote does well by The Impossible Dream and Dulcinea...
...mind when you complain about today's opera or concert audiences in America? They always applaud, even at the worst performances. The candy-munchers to whom you recommend bananas?

The new rules, while not necessarily making the draft more democratic, at least force students to work harder to maintain their deferments...
...Fosse. His diamond-bright "Rich Man's Frug" is artfully precise mock-mimicry of the discotheque set. Fosse's dances always say something about the society that breeds them, and his jazz-oriented "Rhythm of Life" church number is a wry comment on religious hipsteria. The score is useful rather than enchanting, but one song, There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This, threatens to become the mood music of everyone who ever hated...
