Lexington, Ky., has always had a pretty high opinion of itself. The Idle Hour Country Club, the inner sanctum for Thoroughbred horse breeders and other bluebloods, is about as smugly exclusive as such places get. Lexington's upper-class chat just now should be preoccupied with the annual Keeneland yearling sale in three weeks. Instead, each day the conversations are thicker with unsavory gossip: a federal grand jury meeting in Lexington has been hearing testimony reportedly about cocaine use, illegal gambling and prostitution, and will reconvene next week.

...eleventh-hour diversion showed, as President Reagan noted in a congratulatory postflight telephone chat with the Challenger crew, that for all of NASA's "miracles" in space, "no one can do anything about the weather." Reagan had hoped to be watching at the Kennedy Space Center and, as slightly cynical Washington political observers speculated, perhaps bolster his popularity among women voters by personally welcoming Sally Ride, 32, the pioneering U.S. woman space traveler, on her return.

Said Reagan: "We had a productive session and, more importantly, we've had a chance to put our relationship on a personal basis. We have much in common." Indeed, the meeting...
...another, from reverie to terror to awe. This is a movie where, as Isak says, "anything can happen." A nude statue can beckon to a wide-eyed boy; Fanny and Alexander can disappear from inside a steamer trunk; the ghost of Oscar Ekdahl can return home for a chat with his old, living mother.
