...women's downhill race, over an icy and treacherous course, not even the winner, Austria's Trude Beiser Jochum, had much fun. The U.S. team skidded and slithered into a disastrous series of pell-mell spills. Andy, after one half fall and a daredevil jump ending in a ski-tangled pileup, led the U.S. squad but finished a sorry 17th out of 43.

Among the ones she looks at most thoughtfully: Austria's Trude Beiser Jochum, winner of the 1950 F.I.S. downhill; Austria's Erika ("Riki") Mahringer, Andy's best friend and, says Andy, "better than Dagmar Rom* ever was"; France's Andree Tournier Bermond, winner of last year's giant slalom at Mont Blanc; Italy's Celina ("The Tigress") Seghi, two-time Arlberg-Kandahar winner; and Germany's Hilde-Suse Gaertner, 1951 Davos-Parsenn Derby winner...
