...elevator operators, Manhattan's gilded Waldorf-Astoria bravely carried on. Accountants clapped j together tuna-fish sandwiches as substitutes for halibut thermidor. At a $25-a-plate dinner attended by Vice President Lyndon Johnson, the lobster bisque was omitted for fear that clerks and junior executives would slop it all over the 1,200 guests. Even Bossman Conrad (Be My Guest) Hilton, 74. saw emergency service. During a party on the 18th-floor Starlight Roof, the hustling hosteler slipped behind the bar to mix a drink for New Mexico Governor Edwin Mechem. But it was not a real test...

He has won at nearly every distance from three furlongs to a mile and three-sixteenths, on every kind of track, under every conceivable condition except snow. He took the Florida Derby in the mud, the Garden State Stakes in slop, the Kentucky Derby on an offtrack, and the Preakness on a fast, cuppy (i.e., crumbly) surface.
