...start, she picked a nag named Hanassi at 8-1 odds, then Mattinata at 100-8, Cutle at 5-1, Bucktail at 9-4, and Damredub at 100-8. For the last race at England's Newbury track, the lady picked Blazing Sky at 7-2 to win the six-furlong Theale Maiden Stakes. Sure enough, Blazing Sky came breezing across to take it by four lengths. "Ah!" cried the Duchess of Norfolk, 50, wife of the realm's premier duke. "How I like Newbury!" Indeed, Newbury had been very kind to her. On a wager...

One of his last crusades before he switched from nighttime to daytime broadcasting was NAG (Nightlighters Against Gutlessness), a campaign against public apathy. But Wednesday evening, as scores of citizens watched, a Cambridge policeman was attacked near Central Square by a gang of teenagers...
Quelled Mutinies. Tiny and imperious, Margherita Wallmann has brought a woman's wiles into a man's world. For that, she has been called a nag and a vixen. "If a man raises his voice, it is impressive. But if I do, they say I'm hysterical, so I try to hypnotize them instead," she admits. Her limp sometimes becomes more conspicuous if she seems to be in danger of losing an argument with a temperamental soprano. When total rebellion looms on an imminent horizon, she has been known to quell it by warning that one more...
