...make Secretariat the first winner of the Triple Crown for three-year-olds since Citation turned the trick a quarter-century ago. He would be only the ninth horse in 91 years to accomplish the grand slam. The odds against any modern horse finishing first in all three races have grown longer every year. When Citation did it, he was one of about 6,000 three-year-old thoroughbreds on the books of the Jockey Club. Flat racing has become far more popular and populous since then, and Secretariat started out with about 25,000 contemporaries, all potential competitors. Further...
...Comme elle est beau!" exclaimed Actress Mia Farrow at Paris' Orly Airport, where she had flown to receive her new baby. "Comme elle est belle!" corrected her husband, Conductor Andre Previn.

He took the pictures of John-John marching with a toy gun and helmet and saluting-a salute that the three-year-old repeated a few days later as his slain father's body passed by him. Cecil also caught the marvelous sequence that weekend of President Kennedy sitting in the sun reading the paper as Caroline's inquisitive pony Macaroni began to nibble on the presidential shoulder and head...
...business failure came during the most discouraging period in Fuller's life. It included poverty and the death of Alexandra, his three-year-old daughter, who died of spinal meningitis and polio. The child's death, said the grieving father, was "design-preventable." Always accenting the positive, he even turned from thoughts of suicide at 32 on the assumption that he was the custodian of one of the universe's vital resources...
