...Washington, the Reagan administration said it was reviewing assistance programs to Burma that total $14 million annually to determine whether aid should be cut off in light of the coup and violence...
...enviable, it is far from perfect. For one thing, it can be ruthless. After Kayaker Nikolai Oseledetz shared victory in the four-man team, 10,000-meter event at the 1986 world championships, he asked for a Moscow apartment and was told he would get one. After he was cut from the national team the next year, he was brusquely informed no more flats were available and continued to reside, apart from his wife of five years and son, in a drab room he shares with another kayaker.

He beat Soviet Igor Poliansky's 100- meter world record by five one-hundredths in the prelims, and then cut off another four ticks in the finals, for a world mark of 54.91. Another submariner, Jay Mortenson, qualified second, and everyone agreed that the strategy, which Berkoff adapted four years ago from experiments by U.S. Swimmer Jesse Vassallo, was the no-wave of the future...
