...devoutly wished for in the sultry days leading up to this winter carnival, the snows of Sarajevo finally fell by the ton. As a result, the first few days of the Games rivaled the man-made chaos of Lake Placid, though it must be said that Yugoslav bus drivers avoid avalanches better than U.S. hockey players...
...more this week-whoever does-the memory for all is sure to be of more than a snowstorm. The day of the opening ceremony, snow was abundant only in the mountains, and a welcome dusting that morning brought a happy blush to those streaming to Kosevo soccer stadium by bus or on foot.

Other highflying exploits earned him a Distinguished Flying Cross and a Silver Star. Of course, it still takes all those medals and a token to get on the bus. But now Doolittle, 87, has an honor he could use while piloting his car along the lower altitudes of the California freeway system: personalized license plates. Following an act of the legislature, Doolittle and about two dozen other Congressional Medal of Honor winners living in the Golden State were paraded through...
