...Battlefield success depends in large measure upon allowing professional generals to captain the military operation once the politicians have made the decision to fight. Once decided, further intrusion by politicians and diplomats creates more confusion than forward motion, loss of surprise, and a mucky situation such as we now have in Viet Nam. You just can't decide for a general where and when he will bomb or how he will attack. These are his valuable resources which spell success or defeat; timing is crucial.

Winner of more Derbies (seven) than any other stable, the farm that produced such champions as Citation, Whirlaway and Armed has fallen on hard times recently: not since Tim Tam carried her devil's red and blue silks to victory in the 1958 Derby has Calumet's owner, Mrs. Gene Markey, even entered a horse in the Run for the Roses. Forward Pass is a throwback to the good old days. A rangy bay with tremendous...
