Arts and Letters, a late developing three-year-old, has been trained by a master. Eliot Burch has trained other Belmont Stakes winners (Sword Dancer, Quadrangle), and probably has another in the small but long-striding son of the undefeated Ribot.

Parallel Anger. Some student leaders hope to turn the weapon against their adversaries.

Though the FCC has no direct jurisdiction over the networks, it can influence individual stations through its licensing power. Recently, the FCC has begun to question once-automatic license renewals and seriously consider competing applications from would-be broadcasters. Well aware...
Foil winner Tommy Jones could not be reached for comment, but runner-up Steve Landau of Quincy said that Jones was "the biggest moose I've ever fenced in my life. He was so strong that he kept knocking the sword out of my hand...
