...grey colt was a son of the great Native Dancer, but he had chronically "mushy" (swollen) ankles, and it seemed he might never get to the races. So Owner Peter Fuller decided to get rid of him. He changed the horse's name from A.T.'s Image (after Fuller's father, former Massachusetts Governor A. T. Fuller) to Dancer's Image, and put him up for auction. The bidding reached $25,000, stopped-and, just as the gavel was about to fall, Fuller had a change of heart. After bidding $26,000 himself, he paid...

...owner of the new curler set plugs it into an electrical outlet and, in less time than it takes to fry ham and eggs, the plastic rollers (each containing a secret slow-cooling liquid) warm up. When the red dots on top of the curlers turn black, they are ready to be lifted off their individual rods and deployed. Without water, lotions or gels, dry hair can be curled around the hot rollers for five to ten minutes to achieve anything from a soft flip to Shirley Temple curls...
