...gold in a sport his countrymen forget about between Olympics. Kevin Winter is a cheerful, wide fellow, 5 ft. 10½ in. tall and 198 Ibs. heavy, tops, who figures that he has an excellent chance for gold in the 90-kg weight-lifting event. Winter is quick to add that although he was the nation's best lifter, pound for pound, at the May trials in Las Vegas, he would not be a medal prospect if the Soviet-bloc countries were coming.

Although the college girl is beloved as a surrogate for the couple's baby daughter who died 20 years before, it is evident that she will, however inadvertently, add to the wreckage of the marriage. The title refers to the wife's calling for a lost puppy, yet it is clear that hers is in truth a cri de coeur for the unassuageable pain of growing old before she has even grown up. If this is the heartland...
