...Whose coauthor, Reed Smoot, inspired Ogden Nash's 1930 poem "Invocation": Senator Smoot (Republican, Ut.) Is planning a ban on smut. Oh root-ti-toot for Smoot of Ut. And his reverent occiput . . . Smite, Smoot, Be rugged and rough, Smut if smitten Is front-page stuff...
...lengths ahead of Dr. Fager, who beat him in the Gotham Stakes this April. And that was the least of the triumphs. In their first meeting at the Woodward, Damascus put a quick end to all speculation about whether he was a better-or at least sounder-horse than Ogden Phipps's four-year-old Buckpasser, winner of 25 of 31 starts and racing's third-greatest (at $1,462,014) money winner. By the quarter pole, Damascus had opened a five-length lead on Buckpasser; at the finish, the margin was an incredible ten lengths and growing...
...sells cement. However, in Wall Street parlance, conglomerates are generally those companies that have adopted a diversification-by-merger philosophy as a way of corporate life-and most of them share Harold Geneen's distaste for the term. After all, says Ralph Ablon, who has built his Ogden Corp. into a far-reaching (shipbuilding, metals, processed foods) conglomerate, the word connotes a company with "no unity, no purpose and no design."* To most image-conscious companies, the real conglomerates are thus the operations of men like Victor Muscat, a Manhattan-based entrepreneur whose corporate acquisitions generally follow no visible...
...chronic hoof trouble-which forced him out of last year's Kentucky Derby and kept him inactive for much of this spring-Ogden Phipps's Buckpasser still would be more aptly named Buckmaker. In three seasons, the four-year-old son of Tom Fool has started 28 races, won 24 and earned $1,347,744-ranking him third on the alltime moneywinning list behind Kelso ($1,977,896) and Round Table ($1,749,869). Last year Buckpasser set a world record of 1 min. 32 sec. for the mile, and ran away with the voting for Horse...
Essentially, Author Neil Simon has taken a plot as bland as a potato, sliced it into thin bits-and made it as hard to resist as potato chips. Two spoiled young honeymooners (Robert Redford and Jane Fonda) settle into a six-flight walkup in Greenwich Village. In Ogden Nash's phrase, "a little incompatibility is the spice of life, particularly if he has income and she is pattable." And so it proves in Barefoot. The puny pad she has chosen has no heat, no bathtub, and a hole in the skylight...
