Late polls forecast a slipping trend for Poher (the last ceded him 25%, v. 37% at his high point), but they certainly did not suggest that he would almost drop to third. They did indicate that France was taking a careful second look at the mild-mannered grandfather who appeared out of nowhere to unseat De Gaulle-and on reappraisal was having some doubts. What appeared at first as Poher's quiet strengths later turned out to be exasperating quirks. The man who refused to grandstand from his temporary quarters at the Elysée also refused...

The game little colt picked up first-prize money of $104,050 and new status as one of the Belmont's foremost spoilers...
...Symphony, which has just emerged from a 34-day musicians' strike, is in such economic straits that it may have to disband. "Between 1971 and 1973," predicts Manhattan Fund Raiser Carl Shaver, an expert in orchestral finances, "we stand a very good chance of losing at least one-third, if not half of our major symphony orchestras...
