Shergar is worth a fortune. In 1981, 35 investors put up $457,000 apiece for the horse, which was expected to earn $4 million or more a year in stud fees for 15 to 20 years. The thieves knew the breeding business. The four-month stud season begins this week; the first dozen of Shergar's 55 mates, each in season for a month, are already at Ballymany, ready and expensively waiting...

...nights ablaze with her Lorelei beauty and passion, but she doesn't really love him. She loves making love, and so she exercises her power in one of the few ways open to a woman in 1920s Germany: by becoming an entrepreneur of lust. Promiscuous as a prancing stud, possessive as any hausfrau, Hanni drives "Fatty" Bolwieser to the twin dominatrices of drink and despair. Called to court, the cuckold testifies to his wife's fidelity while she dallies with two of the village's men on the make. Logically enough, the court later throws Bolwieser...
