...team is the envy of many schools for its coach. Mr. Powers, a salon fencer of the French School who despises the hit-and-run methods of most competition fencers. With more time and practice perhaps the advantage of the bull fighter ever the bull will tell...
Five million people have moved to California since 1958, mostly from the South and the Midwest. Settling in Southern California, they have prospered and do not understand why Negroes and Mexican-Americans cannot also bull themselves up by their bootstraps. These self-made men have vague, probably unsubstantiated fears about open housing legislation, Negro riots, and "lawlessness" and "immorality" at Berkeley. They resented Brown because their property taxes had doubled; they suspected the governor of handing out their money to every "no-good" in the state. Voters like these probably voted Democratic in other years, because many are union members...
Most beef cattle are doomed to the butcher's block. Not Sam 951. A 2,500-lb. Charolais breeding bull, Sam lives in a red-carpeted, maple-paneled building, breathes humidity-controlled air. By pampering him, Owners Charley Litton, 56, and Son Jerry, 29, of Chillicothe, Mo., hope to keep the eight-year-old animal going at assembly-line efficiency for at least seven more years. Like other prize breeding bulls, Sam is big business; this year alone, he is expected to sire more than 8,000 calves by artificial insemination...
Because of the potential returns, all cattle breeders watch closely for just such "accidents." A completely unexpected one, for example, has turned up at Bueyeros, N. Mex., involving a six-year-old Hereford bull named Doctor Onward 211. The bull, it seems, has 14 ribs instead of the usual 13. More than that, it has passed on the mutation to many of its offspring. Of the 200 calves sired so far by Doctor Onward, 65 have been born with an extra rib-and thus an extra cut of valuable beef...
...objects left by the rich dead, and "the matrons," a gilded gaggle of rich old gorgons who hold the purse strings of family fortunes like bowstrings about the necks of their grandchildren. These characters are all united by money-not the new vulgar stuff that was extruded by the bull markets of the '50s and '60s, but the old stable commodity collected in the Civil War. It is the kind of money that nourished Manhattan town houses, cottages at the Cape, boxes at the Met, and others at Woodlawn or Sleepy Hollow cemeteries...
