...Never let it be said that Boston Millionaire Peter Fuller, 46, is not a horse's best buddy. When his great colt, Dancer's Image, was apparently disqualified as winner of the 1968 Kentucky Derby on illegal-drug charges, Fuller angrily launched a right to clear his horse's name -and incidentally that of his stable.

Apparently, she was convincing: the Lords passed an amendment only dropping...
...Following the pattern set by the present-day chorus at Bach's own St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, church and community choirs throughout the Western world are marking Christmas by singing something of Bach's, even if only a two-minute chorale. And what church organist will let Christmas-or any other week-go by without playing at least one Bach prelude or perhaps an entire recital...
