...undoubtedly lucrative attempts to be significant, humorous, or informative. One author describes a fictional seduction in the styles of J. D. Salinger and Sally Bingham, combined, and the results are highly predictable. There are three more or less newsy bits about jazz, Bennett College, and Jean Sheperd, a disc jockey, whose incisive wit suffers from the commercialization which Ivy gives it. A short article on Cambridge University probes an untrained needle into a host of generalization, and comes up with an interesting, but more or less meaningless analysis...

This year his perseverance, combined with Paddy's skill in the jockey's irons, has paid off handsomely. Neji, who made his first start last month, is already steeplechase horse of the year. Barring injury, the big chestnut has a long career ahead in which to build on his earnings of $233,625−only $1,600 less than Elkridge, alltime...
