Those who lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis agree that it brought into better focus the danger of the U.S.-Soviet nuclear standoff. Some attribute the successful drive for the 1963 partial Test Ban Treaty to the concern aroused in October 1962.

"But he did not present it as the end of the free world as we know it, as Haig would have," says one of the President's senior advisers.

More than any other person, Sangster has been the critical player in the current horse fever. Heir to a Liverpool-based soccer betting operation, Sangster has used his winning touch at breeding to go from riches to phenomenal riches. In provident exile on the bucolic Isle of Man, a tax haven...
