East v. West. As a two-year-old, Never Bend won seven of ten races and an all-time record $402,969; two weeks ago he clearly stamped himself the best in the East by coasting to a five-length victory in Florida's $136,600 Flamingo Stakes. The West's champion, Candy Spots, has an even cleaner record: he has won all his five races, and on the same day that Never Bend won the Flamingo, he skirted a four-horse pile-up to win California's $143,300 Santa Anita Derby by 1½ lengths...
...topknot topnotch. And many of Adrian's wiglets, unlike the French designs, go up and out in living color. Although "Les Plumes" fans out to three all-brunette coils, "Celestial Arc" works its spectral way from pale lavender on the top to ash blond at the lower level. "Flamingo" starts out peach-pink and ends up a deep gold. "It's what nature does," says Adrian.

...Hank Greenspun, 52, freewheeling publisher of the Las Vegas Sun, is a New Yorker who arrived in Las Vegas in 1946, became a publicity man for Mobster Bugsy Siegel's Flamingo Hotel, later bought 1% of the Desert Inn.

In taking on Sawyer, Greenspun would...
...expatriate ''Europe bum,'' a permanent house and party guest on the Paris-Monte Carlo-St. Tropez axis. He once wrote a Pulitzer Prizewinning novel and now has trouble whisking the dust off his typewriter. Barbara Woodruff (Diahann Carroll), tall and graceful as a flamingo, has taken a long-legged step from a Harlem fire escape to a high-fashion perch as the best-paid model in Paris. Her philosophy: "I just want money, and then some money, and loads of lovely love...
...believe he is really standing up to those nasty studio Nazis. Suzy Parker, the famous photographer's model who plays his girl friend, spends most of the picture staring stupefied at the baggy old lieutenant's uniform her part requires, and no wonder; she looks like a flamingo in a horse blanket. On the other hand, Nigel Balchin's script would pass the strictest muster; Jack (The Captain's Table) Lee's direction has edge and drive; and as the spymaster, Actor Andrews drifts through the story like a huge and sinister iceberg-a masterly...
