...fact but the hope of a great horse that stirs people in the rich and romantic industry of Thoroughbred racing. When Sunny's Halo crossed the wire at Churchill Downs last week and won the Kentucky Derby, that was the finish line of the race, but the opening line of the story, the continuing line of a dream. In the weeks before the 109th Derby, when seemingly no two prep races could settle on one three-year-old standout, Sunny's Halo and the rest of his generation were belittled as mediocre.

...contradictions? It is the one question neglected by the conscientious Miller, a Marquette historian who got to know Day while writing a study of the Catholic Worker movement. He owes himself and his reader a hypothesis instead of the oddly sad tension he leaves in the air surrounding the halo of his admirable overachiever. We feel her humanitarianism for ourselves. Her ecstasy (religious or otherwise) we have to take Miller's word for. Was she ever quite at ease with herself-her selves...
