Warren Wright's Whirlaway, top money winner among last year's juveniles, lost prestige in Florida in losing two of his first three races as a three-year-old. Our Boots, who showed his heels to Whirlaway in three races last year (including the Belmont Futurity), looked good to some folks-particularly his owner, Millionaire Royce Martin of Toledo, and his trainer, cadaverous old Steve Judge.

Back in fourth place, a very tired horse, was Edward R. Bradley's Bimelech, 1940's three-year-old champion, odds-on favorite to win. His owner had sold Big Pebble to the Moores two years ago.

Since the pupils had a hand in it, the book is as fresh as a daisy, has no trace of talking down. At home Dr. Levine answers every question of his three-year-old daughter. But he does not try to burden her with all the facts of life. Since his book has a solid grounding in biology, and gives detailed sex information, Dr. Levine recommends it for children past...
