...sake alone, Calumet Farm's Forward Pass would figure to be the post-time favorite at Churchill Downs. Winner of more Derbies (seven) than any other stable, the farm that produced such champions as Citation, Whirlaway and Armed has fallen on hard times recently: not since Tim Tam carried her devil's red and blue silks to victory in the 1958 Derby has Calumet's owner, Mrs. Gene Markey, even entered a horse in the Run for the Roses. Forward Pass is a throwback to the good old days. A rangy bay with tremendous early speed...
...million books to Vietnamese schools-to the considerable irritation of the V.C. One Communist woman in black pajamas appeared at a school in the hamlet of Thoi Binh, looked at the books and warned Teacher Tran Thi Tarn: "You must not teach these things."

Thich Tam Chau, secretary-general of the institute and nominally the senior monk in Viet Nam, comes by for lunch. Tam Chau, 44, once considered Tri Quang's rival, likes such creature comforts as his chauffeured Mercedes sedan. Tri Quang twits him about it, himself takes pedicabs about town...
...sooner had last week's crisis been resolved than out to the 48 Buddhist chapters in the provinces went a cable: "Stop the struggle movement because the demands of the Buddhists of Viet Nam have been met by the authorities." Tri Quang, Tam Chau and Thien Minh all signed it. To the more militant chapter at Hué, a special message was sent: "Hold any action until the arrival of Thich Tri Quang." Then, hunkering down on the floor, Tri Quang personally reined in a delegation of monks pressing for more action. "We must honor our words," he said loftily, adding...
