Harvard rallied late in the game, but the Tigers held on for their slim...
...group in 1965 and toured Europe, where he was an immediate sensation. He walked off with top critical honors in virtually every jazz festival in which he played. Back home now, where the acceptance of New Wave jazz is luke- warm at best, the pickings are still slim. Behind his tinted glasses, Lloyd broods quietly about his future. Now 28, he says sadly: "So few have really gotten through. That's what terrifies me. Women have taken them, or drugs, or something else has happened to prevent their expressions from going on.

When he died in an African plane crash in 1961, U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjdld left behind a book that he had been working on secretly for 36 years, a slim volume of 600 poems, prayers and aphorisms dealing with "birth and death, love and pain."

Swarthy, slangy, excitable Robert Novak, 35, often acts like a Chicago police reporter. Yet professionally, the two men complement each other perfectly; they have merged their talents in a joint political column, "Inside Report," that has a faster-growing readership than any of its competitors. Begun in 1963 with only 35 clients, "Inside Report" is now carried by 135 newspapers...
