...Kelso: the $109,750 John B. Campbell Handicap, at Maryland's Bowie Race Course, thus becoming the third-biggest money winner in U.S. racing history (behind Round Table and Nashua). Carrying 131 lbs., Mrs. Richard C. du Font's great gelding rushed from behind to nip Crimson Satan by three-quarters of a length. The victory, Kelso's second in a $100,000-added race within a week, was worth $71,337-pushing his total winnings...

Chaput, dissatisfied with mere shouting, resigned form the R.I.N. to form his own political party, the Parti Republican du Quebec. Guy Pouliot took over the leadership of the R.I.N. Meanwhile, Chaput allied himself with Dr. Raymond Barbeau and his four-year old Alliance Laurentienne. None of these separatist parties will win any seats, they will only cut down some of the Caouette vote, also very dependent on right-wing dissident...
...affair, perhaps in Europe. It has been said that the industrial revolution emancipated woman economically, and that the contraceptive emancipated her sexually. In terms of creativity and morality, at least, the Sarah Lawrence education emanicaptes the woman intellectually. She fancies herself infinitely closer to Doris Lessing and Simone du Beauvoir than to Jackie Kennedy or Francois Sagan...
