...Canadiens alone seemed unimpressed by Big-Time Talker Imlach, whipped in their first goal in the first game just 36 seconds after the face-off. With Superstars Jean Beliveau and Maurice Richard injured, the Canadiens were forced to hustle, had still enough spare talent to wrap up the series in five games. But for Toronto fans, it was almost thrill enough to be the losers...
...show could have been a nucleonic turkey without its M.C.: Dr. Harvey E. White, 57, a top University of California physicist, who got the $38,000 yearly job (v. $12,000 at U.C.) after previously enlivening a TV high school physics course in Pittsburgh.

...Philharmonic provided immense excitement with a partial performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, accompanied by one of Bernstein's uniquely lucid music-appreciation lectures. A leaner, older-looking Lenny-part of the change was obviously due to a haircut-was in top form as conductor, showman and talker, although the grandeur of the Ninth had him reaching hard for genius-sized words. Bernstein conducted the symphony's final movement in a brilliantly balanced performance. The Philharmonic had played the Ninth under Guest Conductor Herbert von Karajan at Carnegie Hall the week before and, said Bernstein, "I changed...
