...good way to leave Panama and see the U.S. in style. Jorge Velasquez was 15 and eking out a living on a farm when he managed to get a job as an exercise boy at Panama City's track. Standing 5 ft. 3 in. and strong as a bull, he got his first mount in 1963, when he was 16-and at 18 he set a six-month track record with 177 victories. The money was paltry, but better than getting pelted by the fans. "In Panama," he says, "you don't ride good, they throw things...

Inspiration for all the euphemism was Lee Bouvier, otherwise Princess Lee Radziwill, 34, younger sister of Jacqueline Kennedy, making her professional acting debut at Chicago's Ivanhoe Theater in a four-week run of The Philadelphia Story. Alackaday. Neither g-u-t-s nor the services of Seamster...
...holds a fundamental irreverence for anything stuffy, too old or established" -and delights close friends at dinner parties with his self-depreciating humor and talent for mimicry. Actually a loner who carefully guards his deepest feelings, Brewster is also gregarious enough to pre-empt center stage at bourbon-and-bull sessions with Yale's faculty and students. An ear-wearying public speaker whose official utterances are frequently pedantic and dull, Brewster shines wittily in small groups, admits that conversation rather than ivory-tower concentration provides most of his ideas.
