...Queen, to a vagabond called Charlie Coast, Hayward bred Concession in the backyard at Nissequogue, N.Y., weaned her, broke her and mucked stalls for $6 an hour to keep her at Belmont. When the Jockey Club rejected the grand name Hayward first submitted, Royal Prerogative, Katrina and her leggy bay conceded their plainness with grace and humor.

Reddin presents the Bay of Pigs fiasco...
...Washington, the Reagan Administration appeared to have been caught off guard by the events. Ever since the snap election, the White House has tried to set a deliberately cautious tone. With two key U.S. military installations, Subic Bay Naval Station and Clark Air Base, at stake, the Administration did not want to rush into a denunciation of Marcos. The Philippine leader has a reputation for ruthlessness, and U.S. officials were concerned that he might use loyal elements of the military to crush his opponents. On the other hand, the White House did not want to be seen as abandoning Aquino...
