He twirled his lariat, tossed it neatly over a calf’s ears and waited for the cow's daughter to fall. » n = ACCORDING to last reports, the calf still is upright but Mr. Sawin's wrists are not. Both of them broke when the calf put the pressure on.

Mr. McQuade surprised his beautiful mother, the former Dorothy Benjamin, his weaithy father, John 8, McQuade, and his even richer step-father, Renato Morelli, earlier this month when he gave up a brilliant career in South America to become a novice at St. Andrew’s-on-the-Hudson, a Jesuit order.

Most stunned of all was the young man's step-father, who was grooming him to take over his vast industrial empire in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Jack is well over six feet tall, ‘is considered one of the handsomest young men in New York's smart set and was rated as one of America’s top eligibles at the age of 21, before he signed away his worldly possessions to become a Jesuit novice.
