...Candidate Case might win. But Tories foresaw a split of the anti-Liberal vote. If his candidate lost, Prime Minister King would almost certainly have to appeal the verdict to the whole country. Already it was conceded in Ottawa that the opening of Parliament (Jan. 31) would be a token affair, that real work would await the outcome of Grey North's voting...
...south low-grade German troops had been caught holding the forts, the passes and the river lines, and apparently with few mobile reserves. They made only token defenses of Metz, Strasbourg and Belfort. No doubt Bradley had scheduled the start of Patton's push a week ahead of the Cologne offensive on the chance that Field Marshal von Rundstedt might shove reserves into the southern breaches.

Megogo was never in the race. Without a single token tap of the whip, Susie had traveled the route in 1:56 3/5 - the identical time set by Seabiscuit in humbling War Admiral in the same race six years...
