A Touch of Greatness
by C. W. AndersonTurf history is emblazoned with the great names that have adorned it--Man o' War, Colin, Sysonby, Exterminator, Count Fleet--but a little applause should be reserved for those not so richly endowed by nature who yet performed splendidly. Out of lesser cloth they fashioned their banners, substituting honesty for speed or courage for stamina. These are not great horses, perhaps. but of what they had they gave generously, often overcoming natural handicaps to give thrilling performances. They had color, appeal and, at least, a touch of greatness

Love of Seven Dolls
by Paul GallicoMouche, a young waif alone in Paris, plans to commit suicide by jumping into the Seine. On her way she passes a street fair, and a puppet hails her from a booth. From then on Mouche becomes involved with the seven puppets who represent all the endearing delights and foibles of humankind. The puppeteer, cynical, brutal Michel Peyrot, hates Mouche's charming innocence and does all he can to destroy it. Yet the puppets, who act as if they adore Mouche as she does them, seem to have minds of their own. Golo, the puppeteer's assistant, is kind to Mouche and understands Michel's torment. The more Mouche grows to love the seven dolls, the more she hates Michel. Then she meets a handsome young acrobat, Ballotte, who offers her escape, marriage, and a normal life. But can Mouche break away from her beloved dolls? And should she? This story, which was adapted as the movie "Lily" and later as the Broadway musical "Carnival," is powerful, poignant, and disturbing. It is not politically correct and may be hard for today's sensitive readers. But ultimately it is a tale of good and evil, of hope and despair, and of the fight between love and hate for one man's soul. Will it end in redemption or disaster?

by Margaret SuttonThis is a story that makes real the struggles of young people dealing with racial tensions in America during the 1960s, written during that time. Lori Tyler and her best friend, Karen Holt, are at first bewildered and then panic-stricken by what happens along the weed walk, a short cut through the vacant lots where they used to play when they were children. The neighborhood has changed since then. The boy next door has moved away and left his house vacant. The house on the corner has also been left vacant and the girls are haunted by the fear that people different than they--people of color--may move in and keep them out of an exclusive high school sorority.
