...This Is Madness!" Adlai Stevenson was not impressed. In his speech in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden he called again for an agreement with Russia to end H-bomb tests, added afterward that 270 scientists support his position. He quoted Pope Pius XII on the fearful prospects of nuclear war ("a pall of death over pulverized ruins covering countless victims with limbs burned, twisted and scattered while others groan in their death agony").* Said Adlai: "Our arsenal of hydrogen bombs and other weapons is enough to deface the earth. Our stockpile continues to grow...
Professional Scowl. He turned his professional scowl on a big crowd in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden Tuesday night. There, before 18,000 whooping party faithful, he called Nixon "President Eisenhower's hand-picked heir," got a thunderous no from his audience when he asked if Nixon was the man to whom the U.S. wanted to entrust "the great decisions about the H-bomb."

...race for two-year-olds at championship distance was a project launched by Garden State's President Eugene Mori in 1953. It would appeal to both horse breeders and horseplayers, he reasoned, as a way of separating the sprinters from the stayers. It would also give a line on the potential ability of the following season's three-year-olds. Liberally backed by owners (who were required to shell out more than $2,000 apiece in nominating, eligibility, entry and starting fees) and underwritten for $100,000 by the Garden State Racing Association, the race overnight became...
