...western end of County Mayo, between Blacksod Bay and the thundering combers of the Atlantic, lies Mullet Peninsula. Here, where Gaelic is spoken from infancy and not learned painfully in the schools, the scanty human population is kept busy propitiating fairies, changelings, merrows, leprechauns, banshees, pookas, cluricaunes, far darrigs, fear-gortas and headless dallahans, who all like to amuse themselves by turning milk sour, making cows break their legs, laming horses, or defying the machine age by overturning tractors and hurling rocks bigger than themselves into machinery...
...seemed so easy and so pleasant that last week's opening day with the Dodgers lulled some San Francisco fans into thinking they had actually imported a winner.

...Biscayne Bay side of Miami Beach's island, the Pérez Jiménez retreat comes equipped with the standard swimming pool and cabanas; a lush lawn dotted with royal palms, hibiscus and ixora slopes down to the bay. New Orleans-style grillwork flanks the entrance. Low and relatively compact, the two-story white stucco house is built around a patio. Downstairs is a foyer lit with a mammoth bronze lantern, a drawing room paved with black and white Spanish tiles, a spacious living room with bleached mahogany walls stained silver-grey, a bar and a Formica-walled...
...Stumpy Jockey Steve Brooks, 36, who has been going around in winning track circles for almost 20 years, rode to greater glory at Florida's Gulfstream Park. Slashing away with his skillful whip, Steve got a two-year-old bay filly named Tempest Tossed to stay in front of her field for three furlongs, and became the seventh jockey in U.S. racing history to ride 3,000 winners...
