Sticking with one jockey through the entire race, horse and people Owner George Steinbrenner saw his Eternal Prince come in twelfth at Churchill Downs. To be precise, Steinbrenner holds the deed on 37 1/2% of the colt, presumably the part that favors him. At one time he owned the whole animal--fetlock, stock and barrel--but auctioned it off for $17,500 to a used-car dealer from Richmond. For $750,000, George bought back in when his designated Derby horse, Image of Greatness, faltered. You might say, he fired the one and rehired the other. Or, put another...

During the civil chaos that would presumably follow the assassination, the plotters intended to seize control of the Central American state. There was one catch: unknown to them, the hired assassin was working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation...
GENTLE READER: Miss Manners tries very hard to understand the concept of emotional human duty in a society whose members are bothered by their consciences for the deed of having pleased a grandmother by complimenting her granddaughter . . . Hypocrisy is not generally a social sin, but a virtue...
