...describing Irish Gallant Man, unlucky second in the Kentucky Derby, as English-bred, TIME [May 20] has blundered and been unhorsed. The colt, by the Irish stallion Migoli out of the Irish mare Majideh, was foaled and reared at the Aga Khan's stud in County Kildare, Ireland, at whose studs in that county both his sire and dam were foaled...
...most sincere and effective ones in the issue. John Hollander's and Richard Howard's joint whirl into impressionism is the only other serious poem which need be taken seriously. Sandra Hochman's two poems, however, at least have an appealing delicacy and simplicity. John S. Coolidge's Mare Imbrium, despite its inclusion in the anti-dull Audience, is dull.

Crowds cheered her entry into show rings as if she were Sarah Bernhardt...

Melody keeps a thoroughbred mare to bolster his pride, yet forces his daughter to work as a waitress. When he swaggers out to challenge a rich Yankee who has insulted his family, he is beaten into the dust by servants, and his dream world shatters. His daughter, who has ridiculed his false life, is horrified...
