DIED. Robert Havemann, 72, unbending East German pacifist leader who opposed first Hitler and then Communist rulers of his homeland; of heart and lung damage first inflicted when he was imprisoned by the Nazis; in Gruenheid, near East Berlin. An outstanding physical chemist, Havemann joined the Communist Party in 1932 to oppose the Nazis, then 25 years later became an increasingly angry critic of Communist totalitarianism, though he still considered himself a "true Marxist." Purged from the party in 1964, he was scorned as a "Socrates who spoils our youth" and held under house arrest from 1979 until his death...

But Writer Havemann was right at home. A former TIME editor who began writing college textbooks nine years ago. Havemann is the son of a onetime jockey. He placed his first bet at the age of twelve, bought his first race horse in 1957-that is, as soon as he was financially able-now he owns a stable of six. He once competed against Mrs. Tweedy, but his best horse lost...
...Working with a horse expert like Havemann was an eyeopener," says Clark, "but it could have been even more rewarding than it was. Ernie and I took Mrs. Tweedy to lunch at Belmont's Paddock Club. But before settling down to eat and interview, Ernie dashed off to put down a couple of bets on the afternoon card. Instead of going with him, I foolishly engaged in small talk while waiting for him to return. Of course he hit the daily double...
