Defensive Winner. In that forlorn effort, the Arabs were not without friends. At the head of the list were Russia and the rest of the Soviet bloc, which would like nothing better than to keep the Middle East in chaos, prevent it from supplying oil to the West, and drive the U.S. completely out of the area. There were also the nonaligned states, which regard Nasser as one of their prophets. There was India, which never loses a chance to woo Arab support for its Kashmir dispute with Moslem Pakistan. And there were some Black African nations whose leaders feel...
...arrested 100 N.D.P. campaign workers and another 70 from its own D.R.P. Among the latter were two successful Assembly candidates who were charged with election irregularities. The Justice Department accused one candidate of bribing poll officials and destroying at least 3,000 ballots cast for his opponent. Another D.R.P. winner was charged with buying votes.

With Foyt at the wheel, the first man ever to win at both Indy and Le Mans, No. 1 merely coasted across the finish line, 32.5 miles ahead of the pack. In 24 hours, Gurney and Foyt had covered 3,251 miles at a record average speed...
...Ycaza explains, "and so I am often in trouble. If I don't ride the way I do, maybe I don't get into trouble, but also maybe I don't win, and then I don't get work." That philosophy may work for a winner-and over those eleven years, Manny has booted home horses that have won more than 2,000 races and $15 million. But lately, Ycaza's transgressions have begun to get expensive...
