Hitler's art collection is often plainly preposterous. Sharing the racks with Rubens are sexy sphinxes and snake-draped nude dancers of Max Klinger and Franz von Stuck, whose fancy for the Wagnerian concept of total art led them to stud their frames with marble, onyx and semiprecious lapidary and to incise their names in five-inch letters. Among nearly 2,000 lesser art works are monumental glorifications of the autobahns, tiers of titillating, bulky Brünnhildes in the buff, and pleasant vistas of Berchtesgaden.

Metallic inserts in tires are not brandnew. In the early days of the automobile, motorists sometimes fastened metal nuts to the tread, producing tires that gave good traction but ripped up highways and brought on many of the early anti-metallic-tire laws.

Pioneer (odds: 15 to 1) is a son of Preakness and Belmont Stakes Winner Nashua; Jug (20 to 1), of the famed stud horse, Alibhai. Both are being groomed for the Derby in classic Calumet fashion-slowly, gently, painstakingly. To Owner Markey and Trainer Jones, winning the Kentucky Derby in the past has always been more an affair of honor than of money. "I would rather win the Derby than all the races in the world," says Mrs. Markey. This year, she may have...
