SC: Sounds like you had a terrific time. I'm sure you saw the expansive local coverage of the gala, but I'm not sure if you followed the admonition in my post on wolf teeth. Removing them apparently doesn't make a horse run faster, although I'm sure there are some here who might argue that HL would have finished even farther back in last if the operation hadn't been done.

RVL: It was interesting that it came in through the back door, so to speak, & equally interesting were all of the groups & individuals who were opposed on the grounds that the Committee was exceeding its authority. Good thing they didn't back down for once.
