...season was supposed to be a la France. At last year's world championships in Portillo, Chile, French women won eight out of twelve medals; and just this month, Coach Honore Bonnet told reporters that the only question was which of his two best girls-Marielle Goitschel or Annie Famose-would win this year's World Cup. That was before Nancy Greene spotted Annie almost a full second in the first run of the special slalom at Oberstaufen, Germany, two weeks ago, only to beat her by 2 sec. on the second trip down the course...

...world-famed features range from the computerlike introspection of Bobby Fischer, 23, defending the U.S. chess title in Manhattan last week, to the craggy face of French Olympic Skier Jean-Claude Killy, 23, swooping through the slalom gates in Chile.

...many foreigners this seemed a bit odd, for by this time Britain had a squabble of her own with Chile and Argentina concerning some overlapping claims in Antarctica. Moreover, the Argentines and British were (and still are) counterclaiming sovereignty over the tiny Falkland Islands, 300 miles off Argentina's coast. But faith in British fair play survives, and in 1964 both countries agreed to let Elizabeth II finish what her great-great-grandmother started. Under her ruling, which has just been published, Argentina gets a carefully defined 71% of the disputed area, but in Chile's minority share...
