...caligraphy exhibit to a critique of Le Corbussier's architecture, from objective descriptions of courses to questionable evaluations of instructors and goals for the center. Yet, despite some superficiality (What are "the mind-broadening aspects of the cinema as an instructional device" which are allegedly the basis of Vis Stud 145?), O'Hare organizes his material skillfully, giving the VAC activities a fairly unified and comprehensible form...
Eric had the art. He learned his first stud poker lessons in penny ante games with newspaper boys and warehouse workers: when to raise, when to check a cinch, how to buy a pot. By the time he was seventeen he knew he was cut out to be a member of the quiet, all night world of rambling-gambling men.

Another after-hours Rothschild passion is raising and racing horses. Britain's Evelyn and France's Edmond both breed horses on their estates. So famous are Guy's stables at Chantilly and his Deauville stud farms that during the war the Nazis delighted in crossing seized Rothschild mares with German stallions.

With nearly 750 professional field trials in the U.S. each year, many a breeder grows wealthy on the winnings and stud fees (up to $200 a service) of his four-legged friends. Alabama's Clyde Morton, at 65 the dean of U.S. breeders, has won eleven National Bird Dog championships, sells dogs to such fanciers as former Treasury Secretary George Humphrey and British Cine-mogul J. Arthur Rank, once turned down...
