...Rogers, 53, handsomely astride a white circus-trained stallion. He should have stayed on Trigger. Appearing with the Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Greensboro, N.C., Roy got saddled with a spirited nag that objected to Western spurs. Or perhaps it was the way Roy sat the English saddle. The stallion reared and a crowd of 6,000 gasped as the King, like any dude, tumbled off, landing on his rump in the sawdust...

The Duke and Duchess of Bedford authorized their name and crest for the Bedford Arms, which opens next week; Slavik himself is planning two more pubs, one Cairo style, the other à la Singapore. "They will be much more crazy," he promises gleefully. "I don't want to be reasonable any more...
