Bejeweled Blondes. The natural home of quarter-horse racing is Texas, where ranchers have long enjoyed pitting their fastest horses against the pride of their neighbors. But race-track betting is outlawed in Texas. As a result, the twin capitals of quarter-horse racing−and the site of the All-American Futurity for 17 years−are the adjoining towns of Ruidoso and Ruidoso Downs, located in the bone-dry Sacramento Mountains, across the state line from El Paso. Every Labor Day weekend the population of these sleepy communities soars from 5,000 to 35,000 as quarter-horse...
Finally a cover story on the Portuguese situation [Aug. 11]. And what a cover it is.

That was a brief, sunny interval indeed. Just a year later came the cold...
Well things didn't really get hot till we got out to Pegleg Mac's. About an hour and a half from Ketchum, down in the valley on the far side of snow-towered Galena Pass, is Pegleg's spread: some pint-sized log cabins, a twin-holer outhouse, a good bit of fence, and the hot springs. We hadn't come to admire the fence...
