...Woody Stephens out of the hospital, a second-string horse, Swale, won the Kentucky Derby last week for Claiborne Farm and Trainer Stephens, for Mrs. A.B. Hancock Jr. and her son Seth, for the late Bull Hancock in a manner and for the lost Devil's Bag in a way. Throughout 109 prior Derbys, no healthy favorite had ever been scratched, but the Bag literally could not afford to lose. Syndicated for $36 million as a two-year-old of monstrous breeding promise, he was dropped from destiny's consideration on the basis of a victory...
...athletes in Chariots of Fire jogged along the beach to its inspirited pulse, and Jennifer Beals went head over heels for its driving beat in Flashdance. Rock groups love its modish, high-tech tones, and jazzmen such as Oscar Peterson and Herbie Hancock have found its versatility irresistible.

Lauper's Girls Just Want to Have Fun, for example, is breaking in with "light rotation" (one or two plays a day). Herbie Hancock's kinetic Rockit and Duran Duran's Union of the Snake rate "heavy rotation," which means four to five plays in 24 hours...
...Herbie Hancock: Rockit (Kevin Godley and Lol Creme). An infectious synth-jazz riff keeps a group of unlikely robots-all unfinished-dancing as they putter...
