With a lucky yellow ribbon tied to the headband of his bridle and 128 lbs. (including Jockey Milo Valenzuela) on his back, Kelso lined up with Gun Bow and three other rivals for the 1⅛-mile Aqueduct Stakes, first of New York's late-season weight-for-age races. "He'll beat Gun Bow, you wait and see," insisted Mrs. du Pont. Few in the Labor Day crowd of 65,066 agreed with her. They sent Kelso off at 2-1, his longest odds in 19 months. The odds...
...restaurants claim that their clientele is too well fed or bred to haul home scraps. Some places, like New Jersey's Smithville Inn, even wrap guests' unfinished home-baked bread.

Last month, on a trip to Maracaibo, Leoni dedicated a new teachers col lege, the first section of a 1,000-home housing project, a new tumor-study center at Zulia University Hospital, and a new radio-TV relay station-all in only...
...Club show in West Barnstable, Mass., astride her pony Macaroni, Caroline Kennedy, 6, stuck a feather in her cap by winning a sixth-place ribbon in a class of twelve, most of them teenagers. Then her mother, Jacqueline Kennedy, went to town-Manhattan, where she celebrated her 35th birthday by buying a dandy 15-room, $200,000 co-op at the corner of 85th Street and Fifth Avenue, overlooking the Central Park Reservoir. City officials promise tourist buses will mind the music and step lively when they drive past Jackie's new home; and the whole arrangement couldn...
