...kind, but not really royal. He is the great-grandson of Secretariat's sire, Bold Ruler-a line that shows lots of speed but dubious staying power. Slew was the first foal of his dam, My Charmer; his sire, Bold Reasoning, fell while covering another mare shortly after siring Slew and had to be destroyed. On early form, the Bold Reasoning-My Charmer issue was not promising. His hindquarters were oversized and his gait was hardly classic. Exercise Rider Mike Kennedy recalled his early rides on the two-year-old colt: "At first he was awkward when he galloped...
Below Lynch's office, Cauthen was winning the first race with a stretch drive on My Dad's Cross. In the second race, he brought a five-year-old mare called Donizetta up from seventh to third.

For years, Democratic politicians from across the country have come hat in hand to Daley's office and one call from the kingmaker this summer could send any number of them...
THIS MERCHANT OF VENICE is prime evidence for the view that Shakespeare should be produced on stage as a necessary adjunct to classroom study. The text appears to be a mare's nest of incompatible themes and emotional effections, careening from Shylock's tragedy to Bassanio's comedy to Antonio's romance. But in a good production--and the Loeb mainstage production is a very good production indeed--these problems are reconciled in performance...
