...Heartland. Not many men have lived as fully and as widely as Guimarāes Rosa did in his 59 years. Born in the feral heartland state of Minas Gerais, he was a physician, veterinarian, herbist, linguist, diplomat and government official in charge of border affairs. Writing fiction was just another way of annexing experience, and he occupied his territory thoroughly and imaginatively. His novel Grande Sertào: Veredas, published in the U.S. in 1963 as The Devil to Pay in the Backlands, is encyclopedic in its embrace of Minas Gerais ecology. Yet it is as exciting...
...Dancer's Image receive a dose of the painkiller Butazolidin too few hours before the Derby? The colt suffers from chronically sore and swollen ankles, and Cavalaris admitted giving him the anti-inflammatory analgesic on Sunday, 144 hours before the race. The drug was actually administered by a veterinarian, Dr. Alex Harthill, who turns out to be something of a controversial figure. Although he is known as "the Derby Vet" for treating such former winners of the race as Carry Back, Northern Dancer and Lucky Debonair, Harthill has twice been implicated in drugging scandals. In 1954, he was suspended...
Company Clerk. Viewers as well as everyone else at CBS are delighted with Broun's essays. Still, Broun has a few reservations.

As Broun says, "I'm either a Little League Renaissance man or simply a person who can't make...
...Trenches. Still, there were the sheep. In a preliminary autopsy, a local veterinarian found that their digestive systems were "intact," but there was evidence of "disturbances in the central nervous system." In other words, it wasn't just something they ate. Then Utah State University veterinarian Delbert A. Osguthorpe reported that more extensive testing had narrowed the cause of death to an organic phosphate compound of a kind found both in insecticides and nerve gas. "Since the Army had admitted conducting the nerve-gas tests the day before the sheep began dying, that would seem to clear the matter...
...faculty, administration, students, and the Selective Service System. The way it goes is this: the Selective Service tells the students that they can only go to college for four years. No more graduate school, unless you want to be something helpful, like a doctor, or a dentist, or a veterinarian, or an osteopath, or an optometrist, or a chiropodist, or a minister, or a research scientist. Or, you can be something else helpful, like a farmer, or an apprentice riveter, or a glass-blower, or the Vice President of the United States. The Selective Service makes the rules: how sick...
