...first modern work on suicide, by French Sociologist Emile Durkheim, was published in 1897, and is still a classic. Durkheim laid the blame for suicide on the interplay between individual and society.

U.S. horses usually wind up the favorites, but they generally have little experience running on grass-particularly at the classic European distance of H miles. Going into last week's 15th International, foreign horses had won the race seven times. None of that stopped bettors from pouring $446,699 into Laurel's parimutuel machines, most of it on Assagai...
