Borrowed from a Lombard farm by an Italian artist named Antonio Paradiso, the beast, a massive bull named Pinco, stood ruminating in a corral in front of the Italian pavilion. The other half of Paradiso's artwork was a mucca finta, a fake cow, a four-wheeled chassis draped in a cowskin. It was to be wheeled into the pen, the deceived bull would mount it, and the results-as the Biennale catalogue noted, with the usual clarity of Italian art criticism-would touch "the central core of the present evolutionary-involutionary crisis." Finding the proposed event "degrading" (degrading...
MacGregor's clinching argument is a runty border collie with one white eye named Rob Roy. As a cluster of prospective customers watch, MacGregor launches Rob Roy at five skittish Cheviots standing at the far end of a corral 300 yds. long. Using skills his ancestors employed to cut weak animals out of the flock, Rob Roy takes off like a shot, slows to a crawl, inches up to the Cheviots and fixes their apparent leader with a mesmeric stare. As MacGregor yells directions ("way to me, way to me,") meaning circle to the right, Rob Roy nudges...
...race begins when anxious spinners scoop up the fleece almost before it is off the sheep and stampede 50 yds. to their spinning wheels in a big corral. Spectators press in as the spinners cunningly twist the fleece into yarn, then turn it over to the weavers, who throw shuttles of yarn back and forth across the warps of their looms with metronomic regularity. "More gray, more gray," barks Debbie Abbott, captain of the defending champion, team Minnie and the Hampmonters. Without missing a beat, her spinners turn to. The resulting shawl, complete and ready for auction in less than...
Despite Yale's varsity victory Harvard did manage to corral the Rowe cup for the sixth time in seven years. The Crimson second varsity played a major role in bringing the Rowe home to Cambridge after a year-long sojourn to Penn by reversing the order of the varsity heavyweight race and beating Yale. Starting at a cadence of 42, the Crimson J.V.s dropped behind Penn by half a length before driving past the Quakers at 500. In a tremendous display of power at 1000 Harvard stretched a half-boat lead into one-and-a-quarter lengths. Cruising in from...
...frontier dreamers old Denverites would have appreciated. Cerebral, straight-thinking Tom Landry and All-American Technician Roger Staubach are the steady, main-chance men that made Dallas Big D. These two very different teams from two very different Western cities will shoot it out in the most spectacular corral ever built. The teams and the setting are unique. Before Super Bowl XII is over, the showdown could turn into a show stirring the mountains, the prairies and all the watching football lands beyond...
