Remember the excitement and
the spectacle of the 1964 Olympics
held in Lob Angeles? For the first
time in history the Olympic games
not only did not leave a tremendous
debt-they showed a $225 million
dollar surplus. And without a dime
of taxpayer money. If you would like
to read about this successful ven-
ture, try Made in America by Peter
Ueberroth who made it all possible.
***
Bolt by Dick Francis is another of
his exciting mystery-type novels set
against the background of the horse-
racing world in England. This one
features Christmas (Kit) Fielding
who was the hero of an earlier novel,
Break In. Francis is a former
steeplechase jockey and the favorite
author of England’s Queen Mother.
