...wastelands of crime-ridden greenery, Hoving turned showman, scheduled a round of events, each "a little bit swinging." He brought in a computer to mate girls and boys in Bryant Park, proffered 50 beer at band concerts, sponsored miniskirted fashion shows, got 75,000 people to sit on the grass and listen to the New York Philharmonic at night, and flooded Central Park on Sundays with bicyclists by banning cars. His "happenings" in the park inveigled hundreds to paint murals on canvas, fly kites for prizes and watch for meteor showers...
House of Happy Talk. Kauai ("The Garden Island") likes to think it has best safeguarded the ancient Hawaiian traditions of hospitality. The "Aloha spirit" has been adulterated on bustling Waikiki with too many cheap grass skirts and plastic leis. But it still thrives on Kauai, where farmers tend their lush taro patches and fish with nets from the reefs much as their forefathers did.

...nightmare. As if the bloodlines weren't confusing enough, there was the problem of form: how many points does a horse get for winning a race in Cologne, Germany, or Maisons-Laffitte, France? U.S. horses usually wind up the favorites, but they generally have little experience running on grass-particularly at the classic European distance of H miles. Going into last week's 15th International, foreign horses had won the race seven times. None of that stopped bettors from pouring $446,699 into Laurel's parimutuel machines, most of it on Assagai...
