...ride very hard," Ycaza explains, "and so I am often in trouble. If I don't ride the way I do, maybe I don't get into trouble, but also maybe I don't win, and then I don't get work." That philosophy may work for a winner-and over those eleven years, Manny has booted home horses that have won more than 2,000 races and $15 million. But lately, Ycaza's transgressions have begun to get expensive...
...voluptous piece on the program, was also the best performed. Kay Tolbert's crisp solo in "The Conspiracy" and the chorus' rendition of the dreamy meanderings of the "Wedding Chorus" were perfectly natural and uninhibited. So were the two spirituals at the end of the program; Archie Epps in "Ride on King Jesus" created a lilting pulse that was still with me long after the concert. And in Britten's "A Hymn to the Virgin" the main chorus and a tiny answering chorus competed (with the small chorus just barely winning) for the honor of making the most refined choral...
...Scott has made much of a secret of his intellectual and esthetic bents. His Senate office is dominated by chinoiserie, and his house on N Street in Georgetown is a treasure house of the Oriental art he started collecting more than 30 years ago.

Proud Clarion, despite a less than perfect ride by jockey Bobby Ussery, also started to make a good move in the stretch, and for a split second it looked like it might be the Derby all over again. But he tired and his stride shortened, while Damascus, without the whip through the last half furlong, kept drawing away...
Returning to Hollywood in 1958, Coburn saddled up for a Randolph Scott western called Ride Lonesome, which type-cast him as a heavy for the next seven years. In The Magnificent Seven, he spoke only 14 words, but his chilling portrayal of a sadistic, knife-throwing cowboy won him meatier roles, and eventually a chance to be Flint-both off-screen and on. The one thing he cannot abide, however, is the amorous women who are always sidling up to him in the street. "They don't see me-they see a guy named Flint. That...
