Life has treated Hartack at least as well as vice versa, and his only vocal complaint is that a lot of people, including sportswriters, call him Willie, a name he detests; he prefers Bill, and the girls all call him Bill. His followers have a complaint as well. Too many people stake their cash on his talent, so the odds on a Hartack-ridden horse almost always take a dive before the field gets into the starting gate. This even Hartack deplores. "Every time I ride a horse that's a legitimate 4-toi shot," says he without unseemly modesty...
...power-plant contracts around the world, most of them small. In addition to costs, AEC tightly restricts sales of enriched uranium, needed for U.S.-designed plants, refuses to guarantee foreign nations all they need; Britain, on the other hand, gives a lifetime fuel guarantee with each contract. Still another complaint is insurance. British underwriters have banded together to form the British Insurance (Atomic Energy) Committee to write a plan for insuring foreign nuclear plants.

But they get nearly every other human complaint, and a few of their own. Some of the commonest for which animals are now treated: arthritis or bursitis (by injections of hydrocortisone), adenoiditis, tonsillitis and undescended testicles (all treated by surgery); respiratory infections (antibiotics). The human-animal parallel is so close that if he has a difficult case many a vet will often talk it over with an M.D.; Dr. McBride...
...Jules Dubois was bounced out of the country within 24 hours of his arrival, could not return until after the government was overthrown. Within half an hour of Dictator Pérez Jiménez' flight, the ten-year-old censorship was scrapped. Nonetheless, newsmen still had a complaint: to quell street rioting, the new government slapped a ban on liquor sales that proved far harder to crack than censorship...
