Previously Arts And Letters had won--some say stolen--the Belmont Stakes. The odds against him were eight to five. The policemen that day were Majestic Prince, Prime Fool, Distray, Dike, and Rooney's Shield. A medieval lot.

When Maziere arrived in 1963, the population had edged back to 1,000. But he found the descendants of the master sculptors living in "the most unbelievable wretchedness."
