...sweep. For Patterson, the "new Mary Lou" label is inevitable. But she may lack the perkiness factor that has kept Retton in the public eye. The '84 champ hasn't stopped smiling since Los Angeles, but Patterson barely showed any enamel when a group of cameramen asked her to flash her medal and shine after the victory. "Mary Lou was an open book," says Bela Karolyi, who coached Retton and whose wife Martha put together this year's women's team. "Carly is a little more stubborn."
