...article on the Louis Harris poll regarding commitment [May 2] is terrifying, and should make many a friendly country run for cover. It is an invitation to Communist pressure throughout the world. Anyone who has experience in leadership knows that there is a price for leadership. Anyone who lives with the benefits of an affluent society should know that there is a price for affluence. There is really no free ride in life. We must be prepared to meet with force, if necessary, those who seek to take away our liberty and our advantages. We must continue to pray that...

He is a one-run horse bred for distance who skipped the Preakness to heal and rest. He and/or his stablemate Jay Ray (third in the Preakness) have a shot at winning. 30 per cent chance...
...Knight, a two-year-old champion, has been trained since the Florida Derby like a sore horse, and has run that way. In the Belmont, should he be entered, he might regain his Florida form. Running in front unhampered by challenging early speed he could hold off the late runners. This is the only way he could win. 10 per cent chance...
