EMIL HANSLIN, 52. One of the most innovative mass home builders. Pioneered in clustering houses in recreational development of New Seabury, on Cape Cod, Mass. (1962). There, also built "special interest" villages for golfers, sailors, horsemen. Also used special groupings in a year-round planned community at Middletown, Conn. Invented idea of saving open land at Eastman, N.H., vacation-home project; each landowner gives a piece of land back to community. Newest project is farthest out: a religiously oriented, back-to-the-land community on 1,300-acre farm in Grantham...

So many horsemen agreed that only three other three-year-olds were entered in the race, making it the smallest Belmont field in 30 years. Johnny Campo, trainer of Twice a Prince, talked bravely of a major upset, making the familiar point that Bold Ruler, Secretariat's sire, was not known for producing horses of lasting stamina...
...owners of 3,000 acres of land on Cape Cod asked him to join them in developing it. Cluster housing was just beginning to get serious attention at that time, and Hanslin took the idea one step further, grouping houses in "special interest" villages for golfers, sailors and horsemen.

...Ezekiel. Most important, there is the Revelation of St. John, that stunning piece of apocalyptic biblical literature that has fascinated and frustrated interpreters for nearly 19 centuries. It is Revelation that has given art and literature the most vivid images of mankind's terrible last days: the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Scarlet Beast and Whore of Babylon, the monster Antichrist and, in Chapter 20, the vision of Christ's 1,000-year reign, the Millennium. Oxford Scholar G.B. Caird, a modern interpreter of Revelation, calls Chapter 20 "the paradise of cranks and fanatics...
...John Cardinal Wright-the only other American cardinal, besides Krol, ever to enter Communist Poland. But it was Krol's visit that became the gala pilgrim's progress. When he arrived in his late father's home village of Siekierczyna, Krol was greeted by several dozen horsemen in the 17th century uniforms of Polish cavalry, who led him grandly to a brass-band welcome amid throngs of cheering villagers. After Mass in the village church, the cardinal welcomed at least 50 relatives in the parish house...
