...write Ghosts of Tsavo (National Geographic; 275 pages), Philip Caputo went down some roads most people would gladly skip. The Tsavo region of Kenya is inhabited by a mysterious breed of lion that has no mane and eats humans as if they were Meow Mix. In one documented case, two lions stalked and killed 135 people during construction of a bridge across the Tsavo River. Joined by a rotating cast of biologists, local tribesmen and scary big-game hunters, Caputo heads into the African scrub to find the lions. This is darkest Hemingway country--the ghost of Francis Macomber haunts...

He deserved to have a perfect retirement, to be out in the pasture every day, looking around and feeling the breeze in his mane. Maybe he wasn't able to race any longer, but he could enjoy the view and have a good time. He had a great heart, immense courage and the determination to win any race in any weather, under any track conditions. He always showed his championship qualities by rising above...
...whole lot of attitude. The weird thing, though, was that despite the undeniable dynamism of her performance, LP didn’t exactly look like she was having a lot of fun up there, even banging her head and swinging the mic around. Maybe it was the tousled mane of curls, which obscured the entire top half of her face most of the time, but she conveyed the incredible energy of her voice while maintaining an expression as blank as a large Kleenex...
