...horse racing these days, the road to riches obviously starts in Panama. Last year Panama's Braulio Baeza took $2,951,022 in purses, second high est total in history; his countryman, Manuel Ycaza, has won more than 2,000 races in eleven years. The best grass-course rider in the U.S. is Heliodoro Gustines, and of the eleven top money winners so far in 1967, four are Panamanians: Baeza, Jacinto Vasquez, Lafitt Pincay Jr. and the winningest jockey of them all, Jorge Velasquez, 20. With 248 victories by last week, Velasquez seems almost certain to become the third...

She arouses her husband (Josef Abrhám) and begins to recall their first meeting, the affair that followed, the marriage. Abrhám, a television...
...cries often, and has a "strange" habit, when speaking to Parliament, of passing "his hands up and down from groin to tummy." Charles de Gaulle, observed in his London exile, has effeminate hands, lacking muscle and arteries in them, but already in 1941 is heard yelling "France, c'est moi!" at Nicolson in the Savoy Hotel. "His arrogance and fascism annoy me," writes Nicolson, "but there is something like a fine retriever dog about his eyes." Laborite Clement Attlee looks "like a snipe pretending to be an eagle," Anthony Eden is "fairly wobbling with charm," Lord Beveridge, father...
...well have doomed the Kennedy Round to failure, was resolved when Nils Montan, chief Scandinavian negotiator, persuaded Roth and the Common Market's Rey to lunch with him at the Geneva Intercontinental Hotel. Over filet mignon de veau and a bottle of 1962 Chāteau Capbern St. Estéphe, tempers cooled. Roth promised to stay in Geneva; Rey agreed to quit stalling and wind up the negotiations promptly...
