...stickler for the till-death-do-us-part bit, Cinemactress Rita Hayworth played the fourth matrimonial walkout of her career as she left Crooner Dick Haymes. A violent quarrel about their careers and previous marriages-he, too, was trying marriage for the fourth time-split their two-year-old union. The parting left Rita in shock, Dick in tears. To intimates, and to almost any reporter who would listen, Dick confided: "I love Rita. A man is only in love once, and she has been my idol for 18 years." That same night, with Hollywood's Cocoanut Grove packed...
...week before, the Run for the Roses had figured to be a two-horse race. Nashua and Summer Tan would be continuing their thrilling two-year-old feud. But the crowd had taken a fancy to California-bred Swaps. Now he was their 14-5 second choice-high esteem for a colt whose ex-cowboy owner had come to Kentucky in 1933 with $600 in his poke and a yen to buy some brood mares. By 1946 Ellsworth was successful enough to buy a brown horse named Khaled from the Aga Khan, and last week Khaled's son Swaps...
...Beryl. Twenty minutes later Beryl was dead. The doctor, the neighbors and the policemen agreed that the child must have died of shock and grief.

At long last, someone thought to blame the bottle of ginger beer. It proved...
...Toni frolicked in the playroom at the City of Hope, 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles, she looked like an average, happy two-year-old. Usually treated as an outpatient, she had been kept in the hospital a few days because of a cold and swelling in her lymph nodes. She was much better after a blood transfusion, and would probably be home before New Year's Day. Toni has acute leukemia, commonest of the cancers and related disorders that annually kill more U.S. children than any other group of diseases...
...developed Griffin partly with the profits from another beast, named Nasturtium. Bought by Aste as a yearling for $4,300, Nasturtium bloomed into the best two-year-old race horse of 1901. "The bluebloods must have got worried," Aste related with relish, decades later: "A bootblack with a champion!" William C. Whitney, one of that period's great turfmen, wanted to buy Nasturtium. Aste demanded a price then considered outrageous-$50,000-and set a deadline of noon the next Saturday when this offer would be withdrawn...
