Captain C.J. Young and junior Ted Donato line up next to rookie center Ted Drury for Harvard's starting trio. Young is the man of 47-second fame: he tallied three shorthanded goals in that span for a national record when the Crimson tromped Dartmouth, 10-0, last December. Donato played well enough in St. Paul to upstage soon-to-be-named Hobey Baker winner MacDonald and walk away with three goals and NCAA MVP honors...
Coupled with this was the problem for young conductors trying to learn their repertory out of the spotlight. An overnight success could make a name, but at what cost?

...other physicists -- Hans Dehmelt of the University of Washington in Seattle and Wolfgang Paul of Bonn University in West Germany -- are to split the remainder of the prize. They were honored for devising ways of "trapping" single electrons and charged atoms known as ions. Paul, 76, won fame for fashioning a vastly improved ion trap. Dehmelt, 67, who studied with Paul as an undergraduate, used such a trap to observe a single ion. Illuminated by laser beams, the imprisoned ion glowed "like a little blue star," he recalled...
More horrors await. An almost endless train of tuneless trollops traipses by, each one hoping for a taste of fleeting fame on the fleabag cocktail club circuit. Frank moans, "37 singers and not one who could carry a tune. There was a certain surreal quality...
