Reagan began the next morning with an "ecumenical prayer breakfast," attended by 17,000 Christian laymen and church leaders, most of them evangelicals. To the delight of his audience, the President delivered his strongest attack ever on opponents of a proposed constitutional amendment that would permit voluntary school prayer. Claiming that the amendment's passage has been blocked by its critics "in the name of tolerance," Reagan asked, "Isn't the real truth that they are intolerant of religion? They refuse to tolerate its importance in our lives." In a debatable assertion that went well beyond the issue...
...morning after the closing ceremonies, which were more spectacular and less charming than usual, the athletes gathered for breakfast with President Reagan before filling three United Air Lines charters. "This is something that happens to Michael Jackson," said another swimmer, Rowdy Gaines, "not to a bunch of jocks." Reagan told them, "You did us proud. Thanks for the memories, for the great moments, for being what you are, genuine heroes."Unable to resist mentioning his own ongoing race, he lost the audience momentarily.

ABC's worst efforts include Ray Gandolf's report on buying breakfast at a trendy Los Angeles beanery (he had three frankfurters) and former U.S. Olympic Hockey Captain Mike Eruzione's burbling about how much fruit there is for sale at Farmers Market. During the day the network seems determined to pander to the presumed interests of housewives. Thus contests were bypassed...
What they do is not well understood. "Oh, did you paddle today?" asks a passerby. Every day (except Thursday afternoon and Sunday) is the same when they train together, as they did for five weeks this spring at Lake Placid: up at 6:45 for a two-mile run, breakfast, an hour and a half on the water, lunch, rest, a speed hike or a weight-lifting session, an additional hour of paddling, and dinner. "We've all grown really close," says Conover of the team, and that should help with the four-person competition, new to the Olympics...
