...This is why many prospective owners turn to experts like Price, whose company buys up young horses and puts them through their paces before deeming them fit for market. Four years ago, Price brought in from Australia Hong Kong's most famous steed: Silent Witness, who won 17 races and racked up $8 million in winnings - and who would have kept on earning after his retirement earlier this year through stud fees, if only he hadn't been gelded. Unfortunately, Silent Witness's trainers didn't see much value in his bloodline at the outset of his racing career...
...Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (FLDS), was found guilty of two counts of being an accomplice to the rape of a 14-year-old girl, known throughout the trial as "Jane Doe IV," by forcing her into marriage with her first cousin, Allen Steed.

One of his estimated 40 wives, Naomi Jeffs, and his brother Isaac Steed Jeffs were with him as well as a number of on-the-run travel essentials, including: several wigs, $67,500 in cash, 14 cell phones, a radar detector, two GPS systems, seven sets of keys, a photograph of Jeffs and his father, and a Bible and a Book of Mormon...
...tinges the imams voice, Ahmad feels in his own self a desire to rise up and crush him, as God roasted that poor worm at the center of the spiral. The student's faith exceeds the master's; it frightens Shaikh Rashid to be riding the winged white steed of Islam, its irresistible onrushing. He seeks to soften the Prophets words, to make them blend with human reason, but they were not meant to blend: they invade our human softness like a sword. Allah is sublime beyond all particulars. There is no God but He, the Living, the Self-Subsistent...
