...offset this get-together, Red satellite Albania last week entertained Russia's Admiral Sergei Gorshkov, who guided his 12,000-ton cruiser Maximov and two destroyers through the Dardanelles and up the Adriatic, in full sight of Tito's ship...
...mile post, favored Rowston Manor began to outpace the early leaders. The Queen's colt, Landau, was moving well, although he has been so temperamental lately that he has had to be attended by a psychiatric horse doctor. Never Say Die was a careful fifth. Almost out of sight behind the gorse at the far turn, the field thundered into the dangerous, downhill arc of Tattenham Corner. Rowston Manor faded. Landau quit.

...powerful, but it is also unnecessarily cluttered. Mother and Child II shows a baby-burdened mother with stubby, handless arms outstretched in supplication for peace; there is a belly-blow force in the conception of the statue, but the emotion it produces is something like that evoked by the sight of open sores on a crippled, shuffling beggar: pity mixed with revulsion. Song of the Vowels is a more straightforward experiment with form and space; the curving harplike sides of the figure give it expanse and a sense of freedom...
