Rich Reward. Seattle Slew will take a few months off. In the fall, fans and handicappers should have a chance to judge his greatness when he goes back to work at Belmont in the rich handicap and weight-for-age races like the Woodward and the Jockey Club Gold Cup. There is a good possibility of a dream race against Forego, the seven-year-old gelding that has been Horse of the Year for the past three years and is-unless Slew can beat him-the best horse now running.

He also vents his anger at The Final Days, the bestselling account of his downfall by the two Watergate reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.

A new riverfront plaza is under construction near by; it boasts an obelisk and a fountain by the noted sculptor Isamu Noguchi. Part of Woodward Avenue will soon become a covered mall, and streets leading into colorful Greektown will be widened to encourage traffic. The University of Detroit put $5 million into its old law school building, adjacent to Ren Cen, mainly because the project was going up. Ren Cen's creators are confident that...
