...Taylors bid for the big dark bay on the advice of a friend, Veterinarian James Hill. His backstretcher's eye had spotted something special in the gangly colt. The three retired to a motel room and a bottle of bourbon for the joyful chore of naming No. 128 and toasting future victories. They settled on Seattle Slew-after the sibilant city closest to the Taylors' home in White Swan, Wash, (pop. 400), and the swampy Florida bottom lands, or slews, where Hill was raised. Since then, Seattle Slew has given the Taylors seven occasions to hoist a glass...
Still, the long-striding dark bay will be a firm favorite for the 1 1/16-mile Preakness in Baltimore later this month, though his competition will stiffen there. He may have serious trouble in New York's Belmont Stakes; the 1 ½-mile distance could prove too much for him. While his performance may mute Triple Crown talk, Seattle Slew was still the best at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby Day, which makes him this year's colt with a shot at U.S. racing's most coveted sweep...

...showdown comes in a tranquil setting?a large, split-level seaside house in Monarch Bay, some ten miles north of San Clemente. The principals sit in beige easy chairs in front of two large bookcases brought into the living room specially as backdrops for the show. (The books are mostly historical reference works, selected to establish an atmosphere in which Nixon would be comfortable.) Frost is seated to favor his best profile. Heavy curtains obscure the rugged coast and the sunny Pacific. Nixon looks a bit older than in his White House days but surprisingly strong and tanned?a daily...
...answer (not very) is engagingly set forth in Between the Lines, a comedy that plays some loose, funky variations on the counterculture blues. The movie portrays the Back Bay Mainline at the point in its evolution when it is dying as a cause and being born as an institution. The paper, once the voice of the radical fringe, has so flourished that a big commercial publisher wants to add it to his string of properties. The staffers have outlived their heady days of protest and dissent ("We were dangerous then," says one wistfully). They are coasting, but restlessly. The situation...
