...LARGE PART OF Plumb's advantage comes from the nature of the history he studies. A liberal, an intellectual historian, a biographer of great men, Plumb's interests lend themselves to a more stylish treatment than do the concerns of some Marxist or mathematically inclined historians. Of course, plenty of men with Plumb's interests fail as literary stylists, and it is to Plumb's eternal credit that he writes as well as he does. The liberal essayist is a dying breed, and the essay itself seems to be a declining form, not replaced, certainly, by the new journalism...
...French Canadian version of a banzai attack. Perreault, 22, from Victoriaville, Que., centers the line with an extraordinary swift and shifty verve. On his left is Martin, 21, from Montreal, a deceptive dervish with an overpowering slapshot. And on the right is Robert, 24, from Trois Rivieres, Que., a stylish sharpshooter who is the line's leading scorer. So far this season, the three have collectively scored 212 points (92 goals, 120 assists) and are the principal reason why the Sabres are battling the Detroit Red Wings for fourth place in the N.H.L.'s East division.

Shortly after Zulfikar AliBhutto ousted the governors of Pakistan's rebel provinces, TIME'S Diplomatic Editor Jerrold Schecter interviewed the President at his Rawalpindi residence. "If there was crisis in the air," Schecter cabled, "Bhutto did not show it. Dressed in a stylish double-breasted suit, he seemed self-assured and anxious to be his own man. He is firm in his belief that he has made important gains in solving Pakistan's economic and political problems. Now he feels there will be a 'magic spring,' for in the end the subcontinent must live...
...SKILL of the director and his staff explodes on the stage with all the pyrotechnics of Lenny Bruce's imagination For the long period she had to consider--the Korean war to 1966--Jan Stauffer designed costumes both appropriate and stylish for the respective scenes. Kevin Benjamin made his functional platform set a fantastic construction slopping and painting the platforms and adding a fifteen foot obelisk. The yellow vertical is used to delightful advantage in two of Lenny's elaborate company scenes. Christ and Moses appear at the top in one scene, staring solemnly in the luminous aura...
