...together. Quarterback Ron Jaworski was acquired from the Rams for his strong arm. Running Back Wilbert Montgomery, passed over until the sixth round because of calcium deposits in a thigh, ha emerged as one of the league's flashiest runners. As the team started its comeback, Wide Receiver Harold Carmichael set an N.F.L. record for receptions in 127 straight games, and Kicker Tony Franklin proved that barefoot boys can make it in the N.F.L. The Eagles defense is football's stingiest. In the N.F.C. championship game against the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia held usually lethal Running Back Tony Dorsett...
...DIRECTOR Harold Prince, trying to bring some fluidity to the production, relies heavily on the mechanics of an extremely mobile set to permit his cast movement. At best, he creates the seamy atmosphere of a Hogarth woodcut. But his ingenious erector set wears thin, and his staging occasionally seems more suited to a Greenwich Village opera society. Even Prince's chillingly stark Prologue becomes cheapened in retrospect, as the Sweeney leitmotif is repeated ad nauseum.

His prime example is the case of Harold ("Kim") Philby in England, who led a small group of Cambridge-educated homosexuals who sold British secrets to the Soviets during and after World...
...magazine so bedazzled by its own tradition-repeating every February its original cover of a dandy, Eustace Tilley, eyeing a butterfly through a monocle-The New Yorker has changed a lot. There have been two New Yorkers. The original reflected its founding genius, Harold Ross. ("Its general tenor will be one of gaiety, wit and satire," the prospectus said. "It will hate bunk," and would not be "edited for the old lady in Dubuque.") Its clever, brittle style survived the Depression but seemed frivolously out of sync when World War II began. So, war coverage was introduced, culminating...
