...swallow, but an American newcomer whose name kept slipping out of the mind as the season began (Jim Johnson? Bill Jones?) won the most dramatic event of the Winter gambols, and all three women's race winners were known only to journalists who traveled the World Cup circuit. Armstrong was obscure, but so was Paoletta Magoni, 19, an Italian who won the slalom when half the women entered fell or missed gates in a thick fog. And Ursula Konzett, a 24-year-old Liechtensteiner, took the bronze. The only known quantity here was France's Perrine Pelen...
...Nixon, Mondale found a prosperous law firm to replenish his meager personal finances while he ran virtually full time for the presidential nomination.

What was even more surprising was that a panel of the Tenth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Oklahoma had granted a temporary injunction. The appeals court rescinded its order last Tuesday, but constitutional experts were still shocked that the court had agreed, however briefly, to the prior restraint. "For 21 days there was a censorship order outstanding against an absolutely trivial publication...
...appears to have been-small cough behind back of the hand-a family affair. In the pre-Reagan-Thatcher days, Britain's Ambassador to the U.S., Peter Jay, and his wife Margaret were the toast of the New York-Washington social circuit. Then came Mrs. Jay's more or less public affair with Watergate Heavyweight Carl Bernstein, subsequently chronicled with gusto by his former wife Nora Ephron, 42, in the bestselling Heartburn. Now it develops that while Ephron was turning to a novel to get satisfaction, Jay was turning elsewhere. Last week, Jane Tustian, 33, live-in nanny...
