...markets 40 product groups, from Rose's Lime Juice, lemon barley squash and phosferine tonic wine to jelly, jams, canned foods and Christmas pudding. But tonic is the mainstay, and Sir Frederick Hooper, a onetime botany student who became the firm's managing director in 1948, has combined shrewd marketing and sophisticated advertising to make it a mass seller in more than 70 nations. Bitter Lemon, which already outsells tonic in Britain-Schweppes people like to say that it has schweppt the island-is a concoction containing ground lemons, quinine and secret essence; Schweppes hopes that it will...
Schweppes had gotten soft when Hooper took over, and the company refers to the new spirit that he brought as "Hoopervescence." Under his rule, profits after taxes went from $756,000 in 1953 to $4.8 million last year. But the "engaging walrus"-as the Observer once called him-will not be around much longer. At 70, Hooper next New Year's Dav will step down in favor of Harol Watkinson, 53, a former Tory Defense Minister. Watkinson's name will be a severe test for the Schweppervescence men. In any case, things are going so well...
...light enough (maximum: about 114 Ibs.) or hungry enough to perform the mean chores (walking "hots,"' mucking out stalls) expected of budding jockeys, U.S. horsemen more and more are importing riders from south of the border. This season five top U.S. stables-Cain Hoy. Greentree, Bohemia, Fred W. Hooper and Gustave Ring-are employing Latin jockeys. Mexico-bred Milo Valenzuela, 28, is the regular rider for Mrs. Richard du Font's Kelso, three-time Horse of the Year, and for Hirsch Jacobs' Affectionately, top candidate for Filly of the Year. Mexican American Herberto Hinojosa...
...have ever cracked the big time so abruptly. That first year under contract to Hooper. Baeza rode 170 winners and his horses earned $964,622. In 1961 he thwarted Carry Back's bid for the Triple Crown by winning the Belmont Stakes on Sherluck, a 65-1 longshot. Last year Baeza rode $2,048,428 worth of winners-more than any other jockey except Shoemaker. Last week, fresh from his Derby victory, Baeza rode seven winners in four days at Aqueduct, boosted his winning average for the meeting to an incredible...
...horn has an extremely clean, virile, somewhat angry sound; its emotional quality is strong and sincere. Occasionally, he uses a little vibrato (almost heretical in modern jazz); the contrast with his precise phrasing is quite effective. The other Crusaders are Wayne Henderson, trombone, Joe Sample, piano, and "Sticks" Hooper, drums. On records, they are joined by Jimmy Bond, bass, and Roy Gaines, guitar. Lookin' Ahead demonstrates the group's versatility: the tunes range from Rimsky-Korsakoff's Song of India to Felder's Big Hunk of Funk, all played with drive and feeling. The ensemble work is as good...
