Ambush in the Clubhouse. Diane Crump, 20, a pert strawberry blonde who made the first breakthrough on Feb. 7 at Hialeah, whipped home a winner her sixth time out of the gate. "A horse," she explains, "doesn't know whether the rider on his back wears a dress or pants away from the track." Tuesdee Testa, 27, the wife of a stable foreman and the mother of a two-year-old daughter, won at Santa Anita in her second race. She has also been initiated into the perils of her new trade: at Aqueduct two weeks ago, Jockey Willie...
...Breakthroughs. The European tour is both good international tactics and sensible domestic strategy. Europeans were outspokenly dismayed by Lyndon Johnson's preoccupation with Asia at the expense of older Atlantic allies. Nixon's trip will counter that impression, perhaps inspire new purpose in NATO, and probably advance a Franco-American rapprochement. At home, the President can hardly expect a sudden breakthrough in the overweening problems of racial discord and dissent about the Viet Nam war. Europe is the area in which he can best hope to make some quick and perhaps dramatic progress...
...breakthrough for Garrison came in what will probably be one of his few courtroom appearances, since he leaves most trial work to assistants. While the jury and two alternates were being chosen (an all-male group with eleven whites, three Negroes, only two college graduates among them), Garrison entered the Orleans Parish Criminal courtroom just once, and then only as a spectator.

...kind of audience breakthrough that has marked most of Hollander's concert appearances in the past two years. At Brown University he walked onstage in a turtleneck, boots and tight slacks, then "rapped a bit," as he puts it, with the students. "We had a give and take, a sway over the footlights," he recalls. "They felt something, that I was one of them, that I was giving them no lies, that I was not one of the programmed society." Last year he spent a week with the experimental Living Arts Program in the Dayton, Ohio, public schools, teaching...
...evidence of progress - it could hardly be called a breakthrough - was the appointment by the Vatican of five new bishops and five new apostolic administrators to Hungarian sees. Under terms of the 1964 agreement, the Hungarian government must approve such appointments, and the matter had long been stalled in frustrating discussions between the Vatican and the regime of Party Chief Janos Kadar. In the style of such negotiations, the outcome was no clear-cut victory for anyone, but more of an elaborate Hungarian folk dance, in which at least one prominent step must be to the left...
