Figure Skating: The U.S. men's trio of Brian Boitano, Chris Bowman, and Harvard's Paul Wylie will be in the medal run. The women--led by Debi Thomas and Jill Trenary--are also impressive. But the 1984 gold medalist, East German Katarina Witt, is still the favorite...

A year ago, a crude instruction sheet called the "Christian Political Action List" advised new activists to "hide your strengths" and "pretend to be interested" in general party business.

In fact, after getting a disappointing grade in chemistry, Stanford Freshman Debi Thomas, 18, ripped up her entry form for the U.S. figure skating championships in Uniondale, N.Y. But she changed her mind, and in an inspired performance, Thomas landed five flawless triple jumps in her skating program, two more than she had been able to manage in practice during the previous week. They brought the crowd to its feet and Thomas to the women's crown, the first...
