Gorbachev and his comrades may yet buy the argument. But if they do, it will be because for them unpredictability is a code word for the dangers they see in a larger Germany with a larger role in the economic and political life of Europe, perhaps eventually with its own nuclear arsenal.

Yet, until one evening last March when his team nervelessly took top-seeded Georgetown to the limit, losing 50-49, Carril was a household name only in the 609 area code. This week, better known but still wearing the same tatty blue pullover sweater, Carril sends his team into battle again in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.
