Breeders Cup Turf: It was a dead heat, Ma
HIGH CHAPARRAL (IRE) stalked between horses then along the inside, split rivals into the second turn, came out into the stretch and rallied gamely while between foes late under urging to share the win. JOHAR unhurried and angled in a bit off the rail early, moved up outside on the second turn, came five wide into the stretch and closed willingly three deep on the line.
FALBRAV (IRE) held on gamely inside the top pair but was edged late.[Meanwhile, my horse, BRIGHT SKY (IRE), pulled along the inside early, was in tight between horses into the first turn, chased between foes, split rivals into the second turn, continued toward the inside and weakened.] Farewell punting until 2004!

You Are There
In the 1950s, the CBS-TV program You Are There dramatized historic events as if they were happening live. This was very jarring for me as a seven-year-old. Joe Stalin was dead, but Walter Cronkite could interview him. He could really get in the Kremlin to get that story. But how? Time travel and TV were a mix, and a muddle on my mind. Cronkite now an NPR commentator, reflects in an Oct 27, 2003 audio clip on NPR.org, on a surprising dual mission for the early You Are There. This and other essays by Cronkite.
Billy Buckner Ball
Saw a good quote in sports section from Old Cubs star Bill Buckner: "Sports are for teaching young people to deal with success and failure." [That was my impression when I was a Little League coach but several parents felt quite differently.] Buckner in article by Stan Grossfeld says he knows his Red Sox error "is part of my obituary," but the rest is up to the media.What does he want on his gravestone? "Just a bunch of dirt. Make sure you got me covered up."
