...Rodgers' mild annoyance, sportswriters constantly refer to him as "a second Cousy." His set shot is still no match for Cousy's, and he lacks the great man's supremely confident flair. But Cousy is seven years older. It seems only a matter of time before Philadelphia's Guy Rodgers becomes the game's finest ball handler, second to nobody...
...weekday night in Manhattan -the kind that crops up regularly during the busy, rewarding seven months (October through April) of New York's music season. Probably no city in the world offers so great a volume or variety of music, although the fact is sometimes obscured in the blasts of publicity for a few glamour names. Performing groups range from the distinguished, amateur Dessoff Choir, specializing in a cappella Renaissance music, to the new, still uneven Contemporary Baroque Ensemble.

Thanks to his bestselling book, The Account of Corsica, he is also a writer perhaps better known on the Continent than Sam Johnson himself. Bozzy's vagarious search for a wife, described in the previous volume, has succeeded, and for the moment at least he is well-behaved. When he visits London in 1772 without his wife, he is tempted by "a variety...
