...measure their landed wealth in Latin America, no class ever exhibited such fabled riches as Argentina's cattle barons. On the grassy pampas stretching south, west and north from Buenos Aires, the more affluent estanciero could once gallop for days without finding the end of his land. His animals numbered in the tens of thousands, and people across the world wistfully spoke of being "as rich as an Argentine...
...riots that bloom in the spring, tra la. And the first students to gallop out of the labs and libes for the annual monkey-see, monkey-do monkeyshines were the fair sons of John Harvard. Seems some sycamores along Cambridge's Memorial Drive were due for the ax (TIME, Feb. 14), and before anyone could bellow "Rinehart!" 2,000 undergraduate tree lovers rushed to the defense. "Two, four, six, eight, sycamores foliate," chanted the Cantabs fiercely. Then the crowd decided to block traffic instead. That brought the cops, who brought four dogs, which brought indignant cries of "Cambridge, Cambridge...
Hyman allows his meritocratic "British whiz kids" easy rein, but has unshakable ideas about how far they should gallop. Viyella International leaves research and development on new yarns to such giants as Imperial Chemical or Courtaulds and leaves garment making, when it can, to the tailors. Hyman concentrates on the richly profitable middle ground of spinning and weaving fabrics, particularly Viyella.

One recreation program almost overpowered the two volunteers with its success. When 120 high-spirited Zuni-Pueblo turned up for games, the volunteers blanched but carried on bravely...
...Ghastly Gallop. In one of his most recent works, Landscape near Malabata, reminiscent of the outskirts of Tangier where he used to vacation, Bacon dissolves trees, grass and ghostly beasts into a ghastly gallop around the center of his canvas. Faster and faster they seem to run, until the shadows no longer keep up with what is casting them. One brushstroke more could throw it out of step, and Bacon knows it. He destroys more canvases than most artists paint...
