...doesn't care about much anymore. Sometimes this desperation is effective, especially what is perhaps the most moving song on the album, "Racing in the Streets." In this simple melody, he explores the ultimate loneliness and failure of someone who, like himslelf, has sought freedom in the fast lane. Springsteen sings over an echoing piano and in the chorus--"Summer's here and the time is right, for racing in the streets"--does a twist on the innocence of an earlier time in rock. But this sight of the traps awaiting the outlaw man of the road, who always thought...
...recalled that "later Castro informed one of our own diplomats that he knew about the impending invasion ahead of time and that he attempted to notify President Neto of Angola and was unsuccessful." TIME'S cover story on Africa reported that Castro had called in Lyle Lane, the ranking U.S. diplomat in Havana, and told him he knew of the invasion in advance and had tried unsuccessfully to head it off.

...Cauthen actually managing to rate, or husband, his horse while loping on the lead. Thus, when Jorge Velasquez pushed Calumet Farm's Alydar into his stretch surge, Affirmed was rested and ready to run. Said Cauthen simply: "He came up and set his horse down in the lane and I set mine down. Mine won." Affirmed flashed across the finish in 1 min. 54 2/5sec.?just 2/5 sec. short of the track record despite the slow early running?and won, going away, by a neck. Steve Cauthen and Affirmed outwitted and outran their challengers for the $136,200 winner...
