...find youngsters who are 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...
...Guggenheim, 72, a mining executive, plantation owner, publisher (Newsday) and philanthropist, racing is a hobby, not a business. He has spent millions making his Cain Hoy Stable one of the most formidable in U.S. racing. His 25-1 longshot, Dark Star, won the 1953 Derby -handing Native Dancer the only defeat of his career. Guggenheim does not believe in overworking a race horse. "My only concern with racing today is to try to keep a horse sound," he says. But Never Bend has been so busy that he stands a good chance of becoming U.S. racing's first three...
Captain Harry F. Guggenheim, owner of Cain Hoy Stable, whose Dark Star handed the great Native Dancer the only defeat of his career in the 1953 Kentucky Derby: a sweep of Belmont Park's opening-week Cowdin and Lawrence Realization stakes.

Prosperous Cain Hoy's winnings for the week...

"There is no breach, but rather more unity for all," insisted Hoy, official organ of the Communist Party. Yet only a unity of necessity joins Castro's wild-eyed impulsive revolutionaries and the party's longtime regulars. And it is doubtful that any lasting meeting of minds can come between the mob-rousing and vain Fidel and the shadowy, heavy-set mulatto who heads Cuba's Communist Party and commands its maneuvers...
...famous Cuban family (his father was a hero of the 1898 War of Independence against Spain), Escalante drifted into the Communist Party in the early 1930s. His talent for words, ideas and persuasion was quickly noted; in 1938 he founded and became the first editor of a Communist daily, Hoy. As executive secretary of the party and a leading formulator of its policies when Fidel Castro entered Havana in 1959, Escalante praised Castro as "nationalist, progressive, democratic" but complained at the time that the bearded rebel's 26th of July movement was "not completely integrated or clearly defined...
