Some months ago a mysterious visitor from the Red mainland, known only as Mr. Tao, began visiting Wei Li-huang in the stucco house. Whatever Mr. Tao said must have been extremely persuasive. Recently the servants overheard a fierce argument between Wei and his anti-Communist son and daughter. Shortly after, Wei and his wife left by automobile, preceded by a dozen pieces of luggage.

Not until he rides in an escalator into a profusion of bars, restaurants and pari-mutuel windows does the visitor get a glimpse of the track itself, which is framed by hedges of Australian pine and bougainvillaea. Dominating the infield with its lush landscaped gardens, the shallow, double-kidney shape of the lake reflects the slow-circling pink flamingos, the tame black and white swans, and an occasional alligator from...
