  Dennis Moore is 69 years old and has had two heart attacks.
  Until last year, he was handling the racetracks at Del Mar and Santa Anita. He asked to give up Santa Anita, the story goes, because his home was in Temecula and he was tired of living in L.A. hotels, or at least leaving them before sunrise.

First, a surprising number of people still are seduced by its nice-sounding promises. Second, some politicians and activists are using the term again, which gives rise to this discussion. If you ask the public anything, including the virtues of cannibalism or self-immolation, a certain percentage will like the idea. Third, many
