...next song, a slight ballad by Friedrich Rueckert (the same one who made Mahler's masterpiece possible), was the evening's first jewel. As an astute listener remarked, "Dass sie hier gewesen" (That she was here) was ravishing because Goode wove in Upshaw's calm melody among a gently insistent stream of suspended fourths. The last of the five, "Der Musensohn" (The Muses' Son, a poem by Goethe), was a vehicle more for Goode's talent than Upshaw's--his capricious part intimated one of his upcoming Brahms solos. Unfortunately, the lace of technical difficulty left him free...
...foot of the Arlington National Cemetery suggested by him was considered and rejected. The portion of the Washington Mall that includes the Rainbow Pool, the agreed-upon site for the memorial, needs a structure to enhance it. The four panels that reviewed design submissions selected, independently and unanimously, Friedrich St. Florian's design as the most appropriate for the site and for the significance of World War II.

Her time in the 800-free victory that followed was a mere Olympic record of 8:20.20--3 sec. short of the world record that she had set some months earlier. It was worth little more than a nod. Janet had taken care of business, but gee, better luck next time. And indeed in 1989, in Tokyo...
