Correspondent Clark and Ernest Havemann, who wrote the story, visited Belmont Park Race Track, near New York City, and interviewed Lucien Laurin. Secretariat's trainer; Jockey Ron Turcotte; and Secretariat's principal owne. Mrs. Penny Tweedy. "At one point we approached, with unaccustomed stealth and reverence, the stall where our cover subject was residing," Clark recalls. "We peeked in and saw that Secretariat was eating lunch, so we withdrew discreetly, much as if we had come upon Henry Kissinger over his sweetbreads at Rive Gauche...
...Communist Party Boss Walter Ulbricht and East Germany''s other rulers. For more than five years, they have kept him in limbo.

When Havemann boldly repeated his subversive opinions to a West German reporter, adding that "most Communist officials think as I do," the party's Central Committee condemned him as one of "those intellectuals who lay rotten eggs in the party's nest." But instead of denouncing him, the Humboldt University Communist Party cell voted to back Havemann. Finally, the government was forced into the embarrassing position of firing its eminent scholar. The regime dismissed the outspoken Havemann as a "degenerate thinker"-a favorite Nazi charge used...
