Only after a stable of horses has been assembled can a coach expect to pull along such a bandwagon. Against the Cadets, sophomore sensation Bobby Hackett proved once again that he is the thorough-bred of Bernal's annually-improved squad...
Great Stud-Farms of the World by Monique and Hans D. Dossenbach, Hans Joachim Köhler (Morrow; 289 pages; $35). The authors have composed an encyclopedic and lushly illustrated celebration of horses and the places where they are bred.

When a film is as wrongheaded as this one, it is hard to know which flaws are the most damaging. Perhaps one begins with the lethargic Attenborough, who has managed to miscast the film's central role Hopkins cannot even begin to pass for the New York-bred, borscht-circuit entertainer Magic claims...
