...street, dreams of flying hoofs and flowing silks dancing in his head. At 15 he showed up at the track looking for work; as always, there was a job for a youngster willing to do the hard, dirty work of mucking out stalls and hot-walking horses in endless circles to cool them down slowly after a workout or a race. When he turned 16, he quit school and went to the track to stay. Says he: "I started out walking hots, carrying manure on my back, being abused. I gave up my whole life to be a trainer...

It became fairly standard, for example, for one of the Angels to be trapped for long minutes in some burning building.

Said HHS Chief of Staff David Newhall III: "I did not have sufficient confidence that the majority of smokers would be discouraged." The announcement certainly irritated the American Lung Association...
...what I like tremendously is the sun, the sea and books. If I can have any combination of the three, I'm the happiest man alive." His view of the political process is also a balance of the activist and the intellectual: "Democracy is a school with endless classes, a permanent education. I know it's extremely difficult, because basically people look at politics for drama, for a kill, a bullfight. I'm not sure my temperament or my conscience is made for that...
