...inspecting his Atlantic Highway (not yet completed) and the villages and towns along the Atlantic coast. Actually he was giving his local jejes (leaders) the word on 1951's presidential election. Tacho, who was President from 1937 to 1947, would like to be President again in name as well as in fact...
Last winter, it came close. New York City's Board of Higher Education was ready to name Bryn J. Hovde, historian (The Scandinavian Countries), housing expert and head of Manhattan's New School for Social Research, to the $15,000-a-year job.

Back of these stars Ben Jones & Co. have a flashy crop of two-year-olds, neatly named as usual by Mrs. Warren Wright. One is Shine Boy, a bay colt whose Calumet Farm report card carries these impressive comments: "Extremely great hay-eater . . . has everything a good horse needs." Another is a fiery chestnut named Urgent: "top Blenheim II colt." Nevertheless, Ben Jones suspects that when Derby Day, 1950, rolls around, a brown son of Bull Lea may be the colt to beat.
