Rancho Dobe's Storm is a sleek, husky (92 Ibs.) Doberman pinscher who leads a pampered dog's life in suburban Cos Cob, Conn. (pop. 3,100). His nonworking day's routine includes an egg at breakfast, a pound of canned beef at dinner, a romp on the acres of his master, Adman Len Carey, a vice president of Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn, and a proprietary interest in sleeping on the bed of the Careys' 16-year-old son, Jeff. Every once in a while, for reasons that Storm may not fully understand, he is required...
...final judging for the championship of the show, Storm was matched against a Skye terrier which looked like a dust mop, a prissy poodle, a sad-eyed bloodhound, a self-conscious Irish setter and a pudgy pug. It was hardly a contest. Storm, sleek and cocky, paraded around with the aplomb of a high-fashion model. He stood stolidly as the judge solemnly inspected his teeth, eyes, haunches and toenails.

Rancho Dobe's Storm (see cut opposite), defends the best-in-show title which he won last year in the annual Westminster Kennel Club competition at Madison Square Garden. The judge who last year picked Storm over the defending champion boxer, Bang Away of Sirrah Crest, called him "the greatest Doberman I've ever seen...
...torrid, jungle-edge Mexican town of Tuxtla Gutierrez, 100 miles from the Guatemalan border, was abustle last week. Sleek sport cars, ranging from burly Mercédès-Benzes and lean Italian Ferraris down to the tiny French Gordini (a Simca-developed racing car), were tuning up for the third annual Pan American border-to-border road race. In addition to the 37 sport-car drivers entered, 64 more were ready to try their luck in a separate division for modified U.S. stock cars. Ahead of the racers lay 1,946 miles of torturous mountain roads and sun-baked...
