...Three, after Yasgur praised the crowd for proving "that a half million kids can ... have three days of fun and music and have nothing but fun and music," the concert had turned great. Not all of it - 40 years later and still no one can explain why Sha Na Na was on the bill - but enough so that the collective memory is founded in something real. Performing live for just the second time, at 4 a.m. no less, Crosby, Stills & Nash delivered a riveting "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes." A few hours later, Jimi Hendrix treated the last 25,000 standing...

Though racing has played a central role in Hong Kong's social and economic life since the British first colonized the barren rock, its citizens are not known for their sentimentality at the track. Yet attendance at Sha Tin would surge up to 50% whenever Silent Witness was on the card. His exploits even lifted Hong Kong's morale when the city badly needed a boost. In 2003, the first year he was named the world's top-ranked sprinter, the territory was reeling from sars, economic uncertainty...
