...over-studious freshman, known to posterity only as Rinehart, had no callers. Determined to revamp his Image, he took to standing below his window shouting his own name. Rinehart's deception was seen uncovered, and his name became a byword at Harvard rebellions. At one time its very mention in the Yard was a staple ingredient for mixing instant riot...
...Count von Luckner Milestone [April 22] failed to mention one of the accomplishments for which he was best known, his astounding physical strength. In the 1930s, as his unofficial host in Panama, I took him to dinner on the carrier Saratoga. He was asked if he could tear any book in half, and he said yes.

Though he had a slight infection in his left front hoof, the mere mention of his name was enough to reduce the field to two other horses: Rehabilitate, an also-runner, and Abe's Hope, a hard-luck colt who won the Florida Derby last month only to have the victory wiped out by a foul...
