...approved in advance by the Foreign Ministers of the nine member nations, it brusquely warned Washington that the Nine would retaliate if the U.S. began collecting extra import duties on a wide variety of their products. It also intimated that the Community would walk out of the three-year-old Tokyo Round trade talks, thus scuttling any possibility for their successful conclusion. What could follow, Haferkamp wrote, would be "a trade war of considerable dimensions...
...apartment building in San Francisco's Sunset district. Photographed last summer by investigators for the city's consumer-fraud unit, the sign has just cost the landlords a $4,000 fine.

He was the richest three-year-old ever to enter the Kentucky Derby...
...while Cauthen snoozed on a blanket. The kid was hoisted into the saddle at the age of two, a tiny figure dwarfed but by no means cowed by his mount. When Chateaugay ran away from Never Bend and Candy Spots in the 1963 Derby, the Cauthens' three-year-old was already a familiar figure at Churchill Downs...
