...brave fiesta; cries of Ole! rang across a bull ring that is an exact copy of the one in old Seville. It was the privilege of the prosperous Venezuelan city of Maracay (pop. 64,535) last week to witness the return to the ring of Luis Miguel Dominguin, 30, most artful living bullfighter, who retired in 1953 after eleven active years. The privilege cost Maracay $50,000 for two weekend corridas. That was the highest pay ever given to a bullfighter, but the promoter knew what he was doing; it was a near sellout at $10 to $50 a seat...

Dominguin and white-bearded "Papa" put on cool shorts and tossed a hunting lance around for a while, but spent most of their visit together hunting fish...
...Madrid, Dominguin is most likely to be found of an evening at Lhardy's-an early igth century saloon near the old Puerta del Sol. Here, amid a collection of poets, newsmen, critics, painters, sculptors and bullfight purists, Luis Miguel holds court. From Lhardy's, the court is likely to move to a restaurant for dinner, then to a nightclub to sit until dawn, serious and silent, sipping Scotch & soda and watching the floor show fade.
