...tried putting him in with the other bulls. He tore into them. I tried putting him in a separate corral, but that didn't work either. Corrals with a low fence, he'd charge right through, and when I put him in an arena with a six-foot fence, he'd jump right over it." Now Kelsey tethers Aught to a stake in the ground, far away from the bull corral, and there Aught benignly holds court for the youngsters of Tonasket, Wash. He lets them pet him, pull his ears and tail, feed him hay, clamber...
...high jump points could go to anyone as both teams have several six-foot jumpers.

While he had never swelled beyond a forte in the first two numbers of the program, here he used his six-foot build to advantage: the Steinway really stomped. Again in the third movement, an "Allegretto," Boyk travelled presto. As a result, he had to stretch rhythms at the crucial transitions. But the music's momentum carried the listener through in one long dash to a brilliant conclusion...
...behind a newly constructed, six-foot cedar fence, the President's eleven-room, five-bathroom summer White House reflects the tastes of Jackie Kennedy. Yellow. Jackie's favorite color, dominates the decor. The walls are light and are hung with seascape paintings, including a few of Jackie's own, and one determined primitive by the President himself, showing the Riviera port of Villefranche...
