...with Tipp-Ex can do a jig on stilts. And the shy, sweet-faced black girl who plays Velma Kelly is belting out And All That Jazz like she's gunning for a Tony. This close-to-home version of Chicago is the brainchild of Wasfi Kani, founder of Pimlico Opera, a small touring company. In 1991, the outfit put on a production of Sweeney Todd in Wormwood Scrubs, one of Britain's most notorious men's prisons, using lifers as cast and crew.

...sport in which bloodlines are everything, neither Smarty Jones nor the team behind him had any business being in the winner's circle at Pimlico Race Course last week.

(MEC), a spin-off of Canadian auto-parts maker Magna International, has spent about $1 billion to buy 12 U.S. tracks over the past five years, including Pimlico and Bay Meadows. The company may also bid for the scandal-plagued New York Racing Association's tracks, which include Saratoga and Belmont Park.
