...that the onetime aliens now consider themselves real West Germans is the collapse of the Refugee Party, which once had 27 seats in the Bundestag. It has had no national voice since 1957; last month in Lower Saxony, where refugees comprise about 25% of the population, it polled a scant 3.7% of the vote during state elections.

...asked Spots to run," Shoemaker said sadly, "but he just wasn't there." One horse was there: Chateaugay. Ranging up on the outside, Chateaugay zoomed past No Robbery as if the two were traveling in opposite directions. Then he caught Candy Spots, and at the eighth pole, scant strides from the finish, Chateaugay pulled alongside Never Bend. He hung for an instant, and Jockey Baeza went to his whip. "It meant so much," he said. "I couldn't let him do that to me." Chateaugay drew out and at the finish he was 1¼ lengths in front...
