...hear the experts tell it, every horse in the field had a chance-except maybe Big Pete. Big Pete was a sprinter, a good one to be sure, but at the 1¾-mile distance of the Preakness, he figured to wind up, as horsemen say, "absolutely"-meaning somewhere up the track. But The Scoundrel, Quadrangle and Roman Brother had won five races and $188,000 this year among them. And then there was Hill Rise, beaten by a neck in the Kentucky Derby, gaining with every stride.

...Harvard team that boasts no Mottleys is more than able to cope with the Trinidadian's challenge. Ed Meehan has never set a world record while running in his sneakers, but he is a strong, courageous, exciting runner who should win the 880 and the mile. Yale has no sprinter who can stay with Aggrey Awori, no hurdler in a class with Tony Lynch, no two-miler who can challenge Walt Hewlett on a good (though the Elis' Ross o Dell has caught Hewlett on bad days before).

Even top German women athletes-among them, Olympic Figure Skating Champion Marika Kilius and Sprinter Jutta Heine-look more like starlets than muscle-maids. At the Lido in Paris, where the famed Bluebell girls were once mostly English imports, one-fifth of the dancers are now German. Las Vegas talent scouts are also turning to Germany. Pan American Airways, which recruits 150 foreign stewardesses yearly, now finds a sizable percentage of them in West Germany. The Germans even boast two of Europe's prettiest politicians, Bundestag Deputies Hedda Heuser and Annemarie Renger...

...parodies of numerous popular songs, including some of Berlin's best-known hits. A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody had been transmogrified into Louella Schwartz Describes Her Malady, and The Girl That I Marry into: The horse that I'm betting will have to be A sprinter that wins with consistency...
