...letters with the publication this month of his correspondence, still looked very much like Hugo Z. Hackenbush or Wolf J. Flywheel when he dropped by for a night in the theater with his wife Eden, his brother Zeppo, 66, and Mrs. Zeppo, Barbara Marx. After watching himself lope through A Day at the Races and A Night at the Opera, Groucho fired up a stogie and remarked: "I didn't realize I was so talented and agile then...
Peeks & Pathos. The biweekly series got off winging in September with a charming lope through Spoleto, Italy, where Composer Gian Carlo Menotti was preparing his home-grown annual music festival. Bell's camera crews spent seven weeks with Menotti. They peeked in as he attended rehearsals, chatted with visitors in three languages, and finally paraded ecstatically through congratulatory mobs in Spoleto's town square on the night of his birthday.

He steals balls and whips down court so fast the rest of the team has to lope to get into position for the famous shuffle offense. As the offense goes to work. Dressler seems to know exactly what the other four are doing; he spots openings, passes off, sets up scores...
...well as pleasures. Once, while riding alone through Arizona's Skeleton Canyon, McCauley ran into a passel of Apaches. "They fired and my horse fell. I fired twice and two of them fell from their horses, but the balance was after me. As they went by in a lope I let one more of them out of his saddle. All day long I layed flat on them rocks with the sun baking me. Oh, how I did want water! But I love my life better than water...
