Leonard Woodcock, chief of the U.S. liaison office in Peking, warns that the establishment of a U.S. press corps is "going to be a long, difficult process." Apartments and office space are virtually unavailable in Peking, and most of the news organizations will end up scrambling for long-term leases on some of the city's 5,000 suitable hotel rooms. If necessary, quips CBS News President Richard S. Salant, "we'll put our correspondents up in a tent." The cost of maintaining a Peking bureau can be high (upwards of $100,000 a year for print journalists...

Says Willi Kaiser, the burgomaster of Bedburg, which includes the village of Kaster: "In the end people are usually satisfied...
...admits that this year has been special. "Last year I throw a pass to Swann, it's a good pass, a good catch, and somebody is right there to tackle him. This year I throw the same pass, and he zigs around four guys and goes into the end zone. Call it luck or magic or whatever, I like it." So do the Pittsburgh fans. As rugged as their team, they will be waving those orange-and-black towels in Miami to cheer on their country boy quarterback as he struggles to win a third Super Bowl and establish...
