I agree it is a bad surprise to rediscover that OR is not a
function, it happens to me rather often.

These days I rely on things like:
    (some #'<predicate> <sequence>)
whenever I feel like doing 
    (reduce #'or (mapcar #'<predicate> <sequence>)) 
I hope that is more or less what you need.  (The <predicate>s need
not be the same, needless is to say the example above is not a
mechanical equivalence.)
