...Angeles, plays like the Beat It video at feature length. Fandango sends five college guys on a West Texas spree. Heaven Help Us has five Roman Catholic schoolboys getting cute in the confessional and decapitating a statue of their school's patron saint. Mischief pairs a wimp and a stud in the small-town '50s. In Tomboy, Betsy Russell is a Flashdance- style mechanic who goes stock-car racing. In Vision Quest, Rocky pins Flashdance on the high school wrestling mat. One can find vagrant felicities in these films: a snap to the style of Tuff Turf; the bang...

In Trainer Woody Stephens' barn and heart, Swale started the year a second-stringer. What Swale's worth as a stallion might have been and how much insurance covered him are included in the mystery. But $50 million and $15 million are the common estimates. There...
...first the punitive new 75% top-bracket income tax rate accelerated a flight of French thoroughbreds to the U.S. and Ireland. But since then the racing fraternity has been gratified by thoroughly Socialist interventions: the government sank a $2 million subsidy into buying 80% of a prized French stud named the Wonder to keep him in France...
