elderly ladies checked into a sporty new hotel in Miami

circulating from guest to - guest in the lobby, whispering, and

Gen. Mark W. Clark, corn-

Army and one of the most-
decorated heroes of World
War II, will light a 50-foot
torch in front of City Hall Oct.

lars." "It ain't losing I'm worry-
ing about," Becky answered. "I
was worrying about if we had
won. What would we have done
with the horse ?"
