...Chicago these days, the visiting businessman has plenty of time for business. By edict of Police Superintendent Orlando Wilson, the once racy North Side is as dead as Gomorrah. Calumet City, thanks to another crusading police chief, has only darkened flesh parlors to show for its long career as Chicago's sin suburb. Even Al Capone's Cicero has quieted down. No matter. If he insists on drinking life to the lees, the conventioneer can still find paradise enow an hour away in Gary or East Chicago, across the state line in Indiana's gamy, grimy Lake...
JAMES POLLOCK Calumet, Mich...
...look of a classic horse: at 16.1 hands and 1,100 lbs., he is one of the biggest three-year-olds in the U.S. And he has breeding to match: his sire, Cohoes, won stakes at two, three and four, and his dam, Tap Day, was a daughter of Calumet Farm's great Bull Lea. But in the Kentucky Derby, Quadrangle finished fifth behind Northern Dancer; in the Preakness, the best he could do was fourth.

Taylor's Canadian-bred Northern Dancer (7 to 2), which won Florida's $138,200 Flamingo Stakes...
...breeding alone, however, it would be hard to beat Ky. Pioneer or Kentucky Jug. Pioneer (odds: 15 to 1) is a son of Preakness and Belmont Stakes Winner Nashua; Jug (20 to 1), of the famed stud horse, Alibhai. Both are being groomed for the Derby in classic Calumet fashion-slowly, gently, painstakingly. To Owner Markey and Trainer Jones, winning the Kentucky Derby in the past has always been more an affair of honor than of money. "I would rather win the Derby than all the races in the world," says Mrs. Markey. This year, she may have...
