in 1938, near the end of a decade of monumental turmoil, the year's number-one newsmaker was not franklin delano roosevelt, hitler, or mussolini. it wasn't pope pius xi, nor was it lou gherig, howard hughes, or clark gable. the subject of the most newspaper column inches in 1938 wasn't even a person. it was an undersized, crooked-legged racehorse named seabiscuit
