...accent these days is a bit more mid-Atlantic than rural Kentucky, but Steve Cauthen, 25, was showing plenty of Yankee-Doodle dash in England last week as he became the first American jockey to win the fabled Epsom Derby in 65 years. Before a crowd of near ly 300,000 that included his father and Queen Elizabeth II, Cauthen led from start to finish over the mile-and-a-half course on three-year-old Slip Anchor, thereby becoming the sole rider to win both the Epsom and the Kentucky derbies.

Meanwhile, back in England, Princess Anne joined 16 male and female amateur jockeys on the famous mile-and-a-half Derby course at Epsom to benefit one of her favorite charities, Riding for the Disabled Association.

On the other hand, it seems a strange intellectual game--a furious overcompensation--for one to watch a soap opera and then...
...present a year ago. After a hard week of traveling, he says, "I fly back to New York, drop my bags, sort my mail and take a tank. It kind of gives me a stop." Other Daniel clients combine the tank with traditional talk therapy before and after the Epsom bath. Though few have followed his lead, Lilly used the tank as a supplement to his own Freudian therapy. "It carried the psychoanalytic method one step further," he said last week...
