...Restic, in the Crimson and white silks, loosened the reigns on Mr. Multiflex twice this year, and on each occasion the victory margin was substantial (11 and 17 lengths to be exact). Last week, however, Mr. Multiflex was running time well into the clubhouse turn, and only a late whip pulled out a show for Cowboy...
...apologetic, partly defensive about the innovation. Though "we would never have dreamed" of charging penalties during his tenure, the new system has reduced later registration "vastly." down as much as 50 from a previous 100 and a ripple effect bon of the knowledge that "we've started cracking the whip" is expected to have even greater psychological influence "by the time we get the senior class out of here."

Last week a standing ovation greeted him as he ambled to the mound at tiny City Island Park in Florida to start his first game since the stroke. His team...
...Stravinsky marathon was a success anyway. The troupe gathered and displayed its grand heritage, the modern classics (among them Apollo, Orpheus, Agon, Symphony in Three Movements) that Balanchine has set to Stravinsky over a period of 50 years. Balanchine worked out key elements of his style-bold, intricate, whip-fast-to this music. Stravinsky's rhythms and punctuation are the idiom of City Ballet dancers, so that their stab-kicking, hip-swiveling, long-leaping display is a unique ballet chronicle...
