...Graham and Barry Goldwater have more in common than the initials they use. They both combine passionate beliefs with personal flair; neither is an original thinker and neither is an original stylist, yet each has risen far above others who profess similar beliefs in somewhat the same manner. As Gold water is a cut above John Tower and H.R. Gross, so Graham seems far removed from Oral Roberts and the other nameless faith-healing Protestant evengelists...
...could call it. "Now, that is something on which I expect you are already well informed," smiled saucy, blonde Lidia Skoblikova, 24, when a reporter boldly inquired after her vital statistics. The No. 1 star of this or any other Olympics, Speed Skater Skoblikova picked up her fourth gold medal of the games last week in the women's 3,000 meters and posed gaily for photographers with all four strung around her neck...

Claudia Boyarskikh, 24, a sturdy Siberian schoolteacher, led a 1-2-3 sweep in the grueling women's 10,000-meter cross-country ski race, also won the 5,000 meters, collected still a third gold medal as anchor woman on the victorious 15-kilometer relay team.

The Russians' one king size disappointment was the men's 500-meter speed-skating sprint. On form, the race figured to be a breeze for Evgeny Grishin, 32, the world champion, the world record holder (at 39.5 sec.), the Olympic record holder (at 40.2 sec.), a double gold-medal winner at Cortina in 1956 and again at Squaw Valley in 1960. But accidents will happen...
...West's economies are kept rolling along by money from millions of individual investors, and in the postwar years most of it has come from the U.S.-a big factor in the drain of gold from American coffers. Europe, despite its boom, has failed to generate enough investment capital to meet even its own needs, let alone to play its long-overdue role in world financing...
