No kidding -- I actually went out and bought _Horse and Hound_, the UK weekly 
about horse goings-on, just to get decent coverage of the dressage and 
three-day.  Why should I have to buy magazines imported from ENGLAND to find 
out how the American team did, I really don't know!  I'm eagerly awaiting the 
August 8th issue to get the results of the show jumping and Dressage 
Freestyle.  H&H doesn't devote enough space to give a blow-by-blow account, 
but they did list all the scores for the top competitors completely broken 
out by judge for the dressage and by portion of the event for the eventers.  
And I got a great picture of Bruce Davidson and Heydey from the trot-up -- 
Bruce looked very sharp in his US team uniform of red blazer and white shirt 
with snazzy tie and white straw hat with a red band.  Looked much nicer than 
the guy they showed from the winning team who was running along in his 
shirtsleeves with the end of his tie tucked into his shirt.  Okay, so we blew 
the team competition, but we won the fashion show.  ;-)
