...foods, imports from Israel and other gourmet items: pre-cooked and frozen potato latkas, bottles of geflite fish balls, matzoh balls and chicken broth. Nearby the butcher’s area sits a baked goods section. A new variety of hamantaschen made its debut: chocolate-dipped hamantaschen ($4.99). The babka, a dense loaf with alternating layers of soft dough and chocolate, is a true indulgence ($6.99). The 24 oz. bread can feed many people or one famished chocolate lover. Large packages of neatly rolled rugalach ($5.99) are as promising as the babka. For those who have fallen in love with...

Discus thrower Rink Babka, 23, equaled the world record of Poland's Edmund Piatowski twice, with tosses that went 196 ft. 6½ in. Shot-putter Bill Nieder, 26, had a special incentive to go for broke. Hampered by an injured knee at the July trials, he had made the Olympic squad only as an alternate, though he holds the world record...
...Coiling like a spring, the University of Southern California's Rink Babka, 21, spun out of his crouch and watched his discus sail beyond the marking area and plop into a ditch 201 ft. away. Goggle-eyed officials at the meet in Victorville, Calif, decided to credit the burly (6 ft. 5 in., 245 Ibs.) senior with a toss of only 198 ft. 10 in.
