Naomi Radford knew she recognized the man sitting at the next table. She couldn't place his name, but she had seen his boyish face and mop-top hair on TV, and she knew he was running for President. Now he was right beside her, talking to a reporter at a cafe in Fort Dodge, Iowa. So Radford interrupted him, and John Kasich, the 46-year-old Republican Congressman from Ohio, stopped quartering his French toast to listen to her.

Inevitably, our sympathy turns to impatience...

Monty himself, a friendly, convincing talker, boyish smiler and earnest eye contacter, is not apologizing. Choking back tears, he told an audience recently, "When you read that book, that was my life." It was written for his maltreated friends, the world's horses.
