		Stephens claimed Devil's Bag had developed a "saucer fracture" on a leg, and he had the X-rays to prove it.
		Stephens was an entertaining and witty man, but he was as tough as nails.

	Woody Plants in Kansas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Woody plants are perennials (plants that live more than two years) that create stiff structures above ground that they use throughout their lives.
		They succeed through prolific seed-production, a greater tolerance for dry conditions and the ability to recover rapidly from a catastrophic environmental disturbance such as a fire or a flood.
		This list is drawn from "Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines in Kansas", by H. Stephens, University of Kansas Press, 1969.

		Any further delays would have a significant impact on the spring stakes schedule, because five of the first six stakes are scheduled out of the chute at seven furlongs or one mile, notably the March 16 Gotham for 3-year-olds, which is the traditional prep for the nine-furlong Wood Memorial on April 12.
		The last time the Gotham was run as a two-turn route on the inner track was back in 1984, and the switch prompted Woody Stephens to keep his star colt Devil's Bag out of the race.
		As things stand now, the best-case scenario is that horsemen will have to enter for the Gotham on Friday morning, March 14, without having seen a single race on the main track.

		During the second number, as Stephens sang, "I came to this city a victim of peace/But I left with your daughter, your wife, and your niece," the words made such wry and eloquent sense I was certain I'd heard them before.
		Though the Dylan influence is clear, Stephens' rustic parables are closer to Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter's narrative story-songs, tales of innocence trampled by hard living and bad loving.
		While at first Vogel's drumming seemed to follow Stephens' lead, a few songs in it was clear he and Stephens equally shouldered the music's burden.
