...This was the new look of summitry as Jimmy Carter met for two days last week on the fashionable resort island of Guadeloupe-a spot that Christopher Columbus originally named Cannibal Island-with French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, British Prime Minister James Callaghan and West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. But the informal and even sybaritic setting of the French island belied the gravity of the issues that the four leaders confronted during their summit in the sun.

I wasn't even tired at that point, but I just made my move too late...
...Higshead certainly wasn't the only star to descend on Cambridge this weekend. Petra Schneider, one of the ten top East German swimmers who graced Blodgett's waters, pulled an impressive double win in the individual medley events. Krause added the 200 freestyle to her list of golds. And lanky 15-year-old Marybeth Linzmeier amassed the third highest point total of the meet, winning the endless 1650-yd. freestyle en route...
