...time held up until Miller beat him, and it was only 0.31 off the winning pace of Norway's incredible Aksel Lund Svindal, who started 19th. Until Vancouver, Weibrecht's calling card was an electrifying run at the Birds of Prey downhill in Beaver Creek, Colorado, a couple of years ago that both impressed and terrified the U.S. coaching staff. Small for a speed racer (5 ft. 6 in.; 1.65m) he's made steady progress, finishing 11th at the Super G in Kitzbuehel in January. He picked a great time to step into the limelight.

At 6 a.m., Host Nielsen rang an old railroad bell, summoning the other guests at the ranch-Major General Howard Snyder, the presidential physician, Acting Press Secretary Murray Snyder, and George Allen, jester to Presidents-to Ike's breakfast. As usual, the bill of fare was robust: eggs fried sunny side up, rashers of beef bacon, sausages, and steaming mugs of coffee. At the breakfast...
