Dancer's choicest champ is Nevele Pride, a three-year-old trotter* who is hooked on hot dogs, beer and cigarettes (he does not smoke them; he eats them). Despite those hang-ups, Dancer calls him "the best trotter I've ever driven." Last week at Long Island's Roosevelt Raceway, Dancer drove Nevele Pride to his 30th and richest victory in 33 starts in the $166,746 Dexter...
...youngest of three racing brothers (a fourth drives a bus), Dancer spotted Nevele Pride as a yearling on a Pennsylvania farm in 1966 and purchased the colt for $20,000. Last year the trotter won a record $222,923 and turned in the fastest mile clocking (1 min. 58 2/5 sec.) ever achieved by a juvenile.

In this way of thinking, God's presence is to be discovered not only in a formal act of worship in a "sacred...
...unpredictable surprise to Christianity as the original was. There are Protestants as well as Catholics who believe that a modern reformer has already appeared, in the person of Pope John XXIII. "If we think functionally of someone who opened up the church to reform," contends Claremont's Dean Trotter, "the closest to Martin Luther has been Pope John." Catholic Philosopher Michael Novak of Stanford suggests that Luther's spirit of reform is most likely to be embodied, if at all, by someone totally outside Christianity. "The Luthers today are not in the established church," he argues. Novak suggests...
