...written by Senior Writer Ed Magnuson, who also wrote last spring's cover story on the aborted rescue mission. Contributor John Skow reviewed the events leading up to the final breakthrough, with assistance from Reporter-Researcher Richard Bruns. Using sources he developed on four previous trips to Frankfurt and Wiesbaden, Correspondent Lee Griggs kept close tabs on the preparations to receive the hostages in West Germany. In New York, a TIME reporter specializing in Persian Gulf affairs stayed in close telephone contact with sources in Tehran, ran a network of journalists there and monitored Iranian radio broadcasts.

(The French, while masters of no-expense-spared gourmet cooking, have never come in better than third at Frankfurt; they sulked at home this year.) The first U.S. team entered the Olympics in 1956 and got shut out. But in 1968 the Yank chefs were able to cop 16 golds, more than any other national team that year, and in 1976 they won 30 medals, a record high for individual...
