...sentiment's sake alone, Calumet Farm's Forward Pass would figure to be the post-time favorite at Churchill Downs. Winner of more Derbies (seven) than any other stable, the farm that produced such champions as Citation, Whirlaway and Armed has fallen on hard times recently: not since Tim Tam carried her devil's red and blue silks to victory in the 1958 Derby has Calumet's owner, Mrs. Gene Markey, even entered a horse in the Run for the Roses.

Most notable example this month is Calumet & Hecla Inc., a 95-year-old Michigan copper company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. With investors excited by the possibilities of war in Viet Nam and shortages of war-essential copper at home, Calumet & Hecla two weeks ago touched off a run by announcing a 35 million-ton copper ore find in upper Michigan. Remembering quick profits generated by Texas Gulf Sulphur...
