...NIGHT WHIZZES, spinning like the strobe globe at the disco where you loosen your hips, grinding to a song you swore you hated when the deejay played it four times during the hour you sat on the highway edging toward her house, which you couldn't find because her handwriting is horrendous compared to her typing, which she used to get the job as a secretary in the firm where you work, filing paper and talking it over with the guy in your office who says he knows how to handle chicks and seems to be telling the truth because...

...sewage to flow down Malibu Creek to the ocean and forcing officials to close beaches along 25 miles of shore, as far south as Marina Del Rey. In Redondo Beach, harbor officials scuttled the Lady Alexandra, a 225-ft. ship converted into a restaurant and disco. Storm-whipped waves had turned the ship on its side, and officials feared the vessel might break its mooring cables and block the channel...

He moves furtively at first, apprehensive. Male bodies fill the cave, twisting, punching, kissing, biting, stroking, tearing. On the wall, a giant neon American flag blinks omnisciently.

Despite the guards, the Olympic esprit, arising from the ideal of bringing the youth of the world together, still lives in the Olympic Village. A free game room filled with the latest in pinball machines and electronic games does a brisk business. TILT is an international language. A disco with ear-numbing banks of speakers and flashing lights is in full shriek at night. In the main courtyard of the Olympic Village, the flags of the I.O.C., the Lake Placid symbol and the 37 countries represented at the Winter Games, snap in the wind against a winter sky. Below, athletes...
