...usual in dire times, U.S. fans adopted a Canadian. She was Karen ("No Mercy") Percy -- or so one Calgary sportswriter insisted -- a blond 21-year- old who stands a solid eleventh in World Cup rankings. She ran early and fast through stiff, changeable wind in the downhill. Among the stars who failed to touch her time were the glamorous Swiss rivals Maria Walliser, who finished fourth, and Michela Figini, Sarajevo's downhill winner, an ignominious ninth...
...whites, and the so-called "Jigaboos" who are proud of their Blackness-they take pride in their heritage and the women let their hair grow naturally. Most of this conflict is acted out in a series of catfights between the Gamma Phi women, the Gamma Rays, led by the blond-haired, green-eyed Jane Toussaint (Tisha Campbell) and the Jigaboo women, led by Dap's girfriend Rachel Meadows (Kyme...

...summer of 1908. Attention quickly centered on the women (skating people prefer you to say ladies), though dimpled Sonja Henie was just 15 in 1928 when she won the first of three gold medals that launched her multimillion-dollar movie career. In at least two respects, the blond Norwegian starlet of Sun Valley Serenade is still the ideal. East Germany's Katarina Witt, reigning world and Olympic champion, is ( studying to be an actress. And U.S. Challenger Debi Thomas, Witt's primary competition in Calgary, likes the sound of multimillions...
