...more ideal recipient of the 1981 Nobel Prize for Literature than Elias Canetti, 76, would have to be invented. When the Bulgarian-born novelist, play wright and essayist, with his Einsteinian white mane and mustache, arrives in Stockholm on Dec. 10 to claim the $180,000 award, he will precisely fit the Swedish Academy's taste in laureates. Canetti's sensibilities, like those of last year's winner, Polish Poet Czeslaw Milosz, are survivors of Europe's prewar culture. A poly lingual resident of England, who writes exclusively in a high, lapidary German, he is fashionably...

Members of the Warsaw Pact's Military Council, a phalanx of top-level generals, converged on the Bulgarian capital of Sofia last week for a three-day strategy meeting.

Who but a hack could have thought up 1978's Bulgarian defector "poison umbrella" caper in London? The first time a dolphin is hauled in for questioning, who will giggle...
...accomplished on the rings, probably the most difficult gymnastic event. He had hardly left the floor when Alexander Tkachov of the U.S.S.R. turned in a 10 on the horizontal bar. Then Zoltan Magyar of Hungary, a gold medalist at Montreal, received a 10 on the pommel horse. Finally, a Bulgarian, Stoyan Deltchev, 21, scored the fourth 10 of the day, on the rings. Male gymnasts took the high marks as a sign that their sport was at last approaching the kind of perfection known in women's gymnastics...
