Inside are 10,000 followers of Mammon: unworking men, grandpas, stiletto-heeled tooties, indescribables, a sprinkling of M.I.T. professors. They mill around the closed-circuit TVs. The long rows of betting windows, the hot dog and beer stands. They spill out to the open-air section by the track, concentrating most heavily by the finish wire. They wander back and forth eating popcorn, clutching the long "green"--scarecrows stuffed with money instead of straw...
Jewels & Diaries. As Hitler's armies first spill across the Continent, Nicolson despairs for Britain, certain that the war cannot be won. Opposed to Chamberlain's appeasement, he describes one of the Prime Minister's speeches during which "Winston Churchill sat hunched beside him looking like the Chinese god of plenty suffering from acute indigestion."

But if the rat first gets a histamine shot into its abdominal cavity, said Dr. Glenn, a later local injection will have little effect...
...hostile white men, the avengers finally descend on the villains' "war wagon," an armor-plated, heavily guarded stage full of gold dust. With the help of the nitroglycerin and a band of Kiowas, the villains are killed, the wagon pillaged-and the loot lost when runaway horses spill barrels of it over the landscape. At film's end, Wayne salvages sacks worth $100,000 -enough, presumably, to keep him going until his next western...
