...patterns" on the race. Fallon denied the implication that he had thrown the race, but amid a public outcry the Jockey Club barred him from racing for 21 days and announced an investigation into "suspicious betting patterns."

Ice Saint's price had drifted from 5-2 to 4-1 amid strong rumors that several gamblers on Internet betting exchanges had wagered heavily on the horse losing. The rise of Internet...

The story’s second (and supposedly better) half has been postponed until April 16, so make sure to experience this first sanguineous volume on the big screen. Tickets...
...Nazis have bombed the Brooklyn Bridge, they're parachuting onto the White House lawn, until, within minutes, "The British are quitting!" and "it's all over. We've lost the war." Finally the camp is quarantined with "rumor-itis," and the cartoon ends with the familiar logo of Fox Movietone News - a cameraman at work, except that his camera grinds sausage.
