...fluctuating almost 60 degrees, the XVth Winter Olympics began last week brilliantly. A crowd of 60,000 people glowing from the cheeks and hearts brimmed Calgary's McMahon Stadium for the opening ceremonies, donning colored ponchos that formed a lot of little symbols across the stands and one large display across the world...
Dole demanded an apology to his wife, but Bush refused to disavow the written statement. Political analysts suspect that paper was meant to put Dole on the defensive, shift attention away from the Vice President's still foggy Iran-contra role and goad the Kansas Senator into a display of his well-known temper.

When he returned to the salon last Thursday with his Golden Thimble -- all the more precious because his first one is locked away at Patou -- he found that his staff had laid an improvised red carpet, and he responded with a short champagne reception. The staff...
