MISS ESTA MAUDE'S SECRET (story and pictures by W. T. Cummings; Whittlesey House; $3.25) is as American as Our Town. Esta Maude Hay is a spinster schoolteacher who lives in a rickety house on the edge of town, with two cats, a goldfish and a parrot. She dresses in black and drives a black, vintage tin lizzie, known as "Miss Esta Maude's machine."

...could train Citation"); of a heart attack; in Lexington, Ky. The Missouri-born banker's son launched himself as an owner-trainer-breeder on the Midwestern bullring circuit, learned to halter his foals the day after they dropped, fatten them on only the right food ("I can smell hay or feel it in the dark and tell whether horses will like it"), waste none of it on losing nags (his pet phrase: "Trade'm away for a dog and then shoot the dog").
