Johnny Longden is quite a boy. He is 59 now, and a grandfather. His face is wrinkled, his hair is mostly gone and his back aches-as might be expected when a man standing 4 ft. 10 in. and weighing 110 Ibs. has fallen off enough horses to break both arms, both collarbones, both legs (one of them five times), both feet, two vertebrae and most of his ribs. To the fans, Longden is known as "The Pumper" (for his style of riding) and "The Fox." He is the jockey who rode Count Fleet to a Triple Crown...
This French-bred farce is set in 1905, and Ford has no trouble convincing anyone that the swiftest road to hell is to read the early plays of George Bernard Shaw. That is what his daughter is doing, and she has already fallen in love with a chauffeur. Depravity surrounds Ford. The clerk of his sporting-goods concern has lifted half a million dollars from the firm, and makes a scoundrelly proposition.

The Golden Age came at the turn of the decade, about 1960, when giants were made in Dunster House and all the most ambitious young politicos longed to live within its walls. Dunster and that other current outcast, Kirkland House, topped the House popularity polls yearly. The Dunster House Committee, at that time a body of no inconsiderable power, almost single-handedly destroyed the career of a Student Council Chairman...
...James Bond 007 products is tailing off. Gimbels of Philadelphia, the first store to carry Batman T shirts, sold out its shipment of 360 in a day, ordered 2,400 more. Sales of all kinds of Batman merchandise would be still bigger except that manufacturers mistimed the impact, have fallen as far as six weeks behind in deliveries. "I've seen maybe 50 items in hand samples," complains Charles Lucas, Chicago-based buyer for 495 Walgreen drugstores. "But we've only got about ten in our stores...
