Franz Marc and the Blue Rider group welcomed him; Kandinsky discoursed to him on the law of form. Hartley was also in love with a handsome young German officer, Karl von Freyburg. He evolved the style Haskell so admires, a kind of syn thetic cubism heavily studded with military symbols and panoply, most conspicuously the Iron Cross itself. Von Freyburg was killed in the early months of the first World War. The result was the Portrait of a German Officer, which even incorporates Von Freyburg's initials in its lower left corner...
...British are coming! The British are coming!" roared a rider in a hired Paul Revere costume, as he galloped up Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. Even as rent-a-Revere was spreading the tidings last April, the first Anglo invaders were pouring off a chartered jet at the Miami International Airport. There they were welcomed by a high school band playing Rule, Britannia, Mickey Mouse, Flipper the Dolphin, a bicycle-riding parrot and the mayor of Miami Beach. Hizzoner grabbed the first couple to clear customs and bestowed on them Moët et Chandon champagne, a limousine ride...
...biggest stimulus for Detroit, oddly enough, may come from a little-known rider attached to the Chrysler financial bailout bill passed by Congress last December. The measure, sponsored by Idaho Republican Senator James A.

...Travolta) meets both the mechanical steer and Sissy (Debra Winger, who gives the picture's best performance), his bride-to-be, soon after he arrives in town. Before long they are acting out a parody of western drama. Restless and feisty, she wants to become a bull rider too. Bud disapproves, just as he does of her flirtation with an ex-con named Wes (Scott Glenn, who looks tough enough for the part but does not act it). Wes is extraordinarily adept at staying on the bucking machine, and soon enough Sissy has moved in with him. Bud immediately...
...series of federal and state prosecutions for race fixing in five states. Twenty-two men have been convicted in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Michigan. But the New York case is by far the most serious, for some of the nation's finest and most famous riders have been named in court testimony. Jockey José Amy, 26 -like Feliciano an admitted fixer who struck a deal with prosecutors in exchange for testifying-claimed that eleven jockeys knew of the schemes, including three riders who were in the Preakness last weekend. The trio: Jacinto Vasquez, jockey of the Kentucky...
