...general seemed a little spread out and stretched out, every venue and event had its delights, like the wooden shoes of the little Dutch girls echoing their clomps in the speed skaters' Oval. On Mount Allan, where Zurbriggen and Swiss Teammate Peter Muller drew most of the early glare, a softer scene involved the sport's former custodians, the Austrians. Leonhard Stock, 29, the fifth-stringer who replaced fabled Franz Klammer in 1980, then made it worse by winning the downhill gold, finished an unexpected fourth last week and was finally embraced.

For months, Noboru Takeshita had been the front runner among three candidates to succeed Yasuhiro Nakasone, Japan's popular Prime Minister. But though he controlled the largest bloc of votes in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (L.D.P.), Takeshita did not have enough to take the office outright. Negotiations to persuade his rivals to withdraw were deadlocked. By 10 p.m. on the eve of a party vote, Takeshita, the consummate dealmaker, had realized there were no more deals to make.
