...rain, plastered with mud, a look of utter rapture on his upturned face. Of Russia's Elvira Ozolina, crushed by her defeat in the women's javelin, rushing wildly into a hairdresser's to have her head shaved in shame. Of South Korea's defiant Dong Kih Choh, disqualified in his flyweight boxing preliminary, sitting angrily in his corner for 50 minutes while officials pleaded with him to leave the ring. And of the Hungarian water poloist who lost his trunks while the whole of Japan watched...

Finishing close behind him were two top functionaries of North Viet Nam's Communist movement, known as Lao Dong, or Workers'Party: First Secretary Le Duan, who won 99.83% and Politburo Member Truong Chinh with 99.81%. Duan, 57, and Chinh, 55, are leaders of the party's pro-Peking wing, and their margins are a measure of the growing challenge by the Peking men to Uncle...
