...raced off to call a veterinarian. He was stopped in his tracks by a shout from the barn: "It's all right, Ivan," yelled Farmer Dwight Eisenhower, "don't bother to call."

Wineskins squirted into thirsty mouths; trumpets blared the heart-quickening paso doble of the brave fiesta; cries of Ole! rang across a bull ring that is an exact copy of the one in old Seville.
