Kelso's record was enough to scare off most opponents: only five horses showed up to contest the $108,800 race. They made up in quality what they lacked in quantity: included in the field were Never Bend, a sleek bay sprinter who had earned more money as a two-year-old ($402,969) than any horse in history, and Carry Back, the 1961 Derby Winner and a millionaire in his own right (winnings: $1,197,115). Willie Shoemaker was riding Never Bend, and his strategy was simple: get out in front and stay there. Driving...
...million federal project that will create Texas' largest fresh water lake has been known as McGee Bend Dam since 1956. Now, with the presidential signing of a congressional bill, its name becomes the Sam Rayburn Dam, honoring the late House Speaker who "devotedly and ably served this nation in the Congress for 50 years...

There are your rivers murmuring with scented crocodiles and mirage-eyed manatees. And no need to invent the Sirens. But it is enough to open eyes...
Horror of Houlihcms. The bulldogger closes with the steer on his right, leans far over, and leaps. "I try to get the right horn in the bend of my elbow, and I grab the other horn with my left hand," explains Bynum. "That's to turn him left, and when he turns he's on one foot. Then you grab that muzzle and that off-horn and just try to wring his neck 'cause it won't break nohow." If the bulldogger's leverage is firm and his power is steadily exerted, the unstable steer...
