CORNELL-YALE: Cornell's coming off a pretty fair Saturday, but so is Yale. Both teams are better than anyone expected, and all of a sudden my heart sings. In a sentimental throwback to the marvelous years of Mantle and Maris, Yale is referring to Joe Massey and Don Martin as its M and M boys. Ingenious. Cornell's M boy, Ed Marinaro, is also pretty good. The big thing here is, can Cornell's great rushing attack overcome Yale's great defense against rushing? Neither team can afford to lose. The Big Red is coming fast, and it would...

Richard Nixon won an important, if narrow, victory. Unlike his Democratic predecessor, however, he had left Congress free to work its will. Nixon's manner in dealing with Congress is almost diffident, a throwback to the more passive presidency of the Eisenhower years, a direct contrast with the hot-breath methods of Lyndon Johnson. Nixon quietly lobbied dozens of Senators for Safeguard, but he never made it a party issue with Republicans. A month ago, Nixon met with five anti-ABM Republican Senators, but mentioned the issue only in passing. He understood their position, he said, and they were free...

...regulation court is divided into asymmetrical halves by a sagging net 5 ft. high at its ends. Using pear-shaped rackets that look like relics of turn-of-the-century lawn tennis, players bounce their serves off shedlike roofs (a throwback to the monastery cow stalls) extending around three sides of the court. Though the scoring is almost identical to that of lawn tennis, the methods of attack are different. Points are scored by driving the cloth ball off a slanting 3-ft.-wide wall called the tambour (the monastery's flying buttress) at unreturnable angles, or by knocking...

...down to earth. Recorded live for the first time, they change head music to body music as they repeat some old songs (Somebody to Lore, Plastic Fantastic Lover). Even so, acid rock is still the foundation of the Airplane, and the eleven-minute Bear Melt is a darkly mysterious throwback to their old surrealistic cerebrations...

...most part, today's composers ignore the concerto. Some believe that it is an anachronism, a throwback to the 19th century, when the individual performer counted most. Others say that it is too expensive to rehearse 100 or so musicians and hire a top-name soloist to perform a new concerto. Both arguments have some justification. Still, audiences love the familiar old concertos as much as ever. And so do pianists, as these releases make clear...
