Shoemaker quickly found that practice was as important as poundage. He spent three years learning fundamentals: breaking yearlings, mucking out stalls, exercising colts in the chill grey dawn. When he finally earned his spurs in 1949, Shoemaker was an immediate success: in his first season, he rode 219 winners; the next year he tied Joe Culmone for the national title with 388. Though he had ridden many good horses, Willie never got a great one until 1954, when he won the mount on Rex Ellsworth's Swaps. This year he is contracted for two of the best: the colt...
There are other signs of strength for the weeks ahead: steady prices, easy credit, low inventories, rising rates of capital spending and Government spending. The stock market, increasingly accurate as a forecaster (TIME, Jan. 26), has stood up well to the January chill. And Main Street seems to be in a buying mood. According to the Federal Reserve Board's quarterly survey, an unusually high proportion of U.S. families-3.7%-are planning to buy new cars within the next six months.

The color is bilious, the sentimentality sickening, and the acting, for the most part, godawful. But Meet Me in St. Louis is a slice of history. The young Judy Garland is every bit as wonderful as the mature version, and the portrayal of the St. Louis of the early 1900's is strangely touching. As a boy in St. Louis, I was brought up on such songs as "Meet...
Bundled against the Canadian chill, Britain's "Minister for Europe," Lord Privy Seal Edward Heath, flew into Ottawa last week to batten down some Commonwealth hatches before Britain sails into the European Common Market. After the usual pleasantries in the airport VIP lounge, a newsman pushed a microphone at Heath: "Just say that you've come to assuage Canadian anxiety...
