Thus Today's Bryant Gumbel, instead of the redoubtable McKay, will be this year's Olympic superanchor. NBC Sportscaster Bob Costas will handle late-night coverage, and Newcomer Gayle Gardner, brought over from ESPN, will co-host much of the daytime broadcasts. Among the veteran NBC hands who will be working their first TV Olympics are Charlie Jones, covering track and field, Marv Albert on boxing and Dick ("Oh my!") Enberg for gymnastics. There will even be new theme music from the ubiquitous John Williams...

The American Dreams, the second oldest league in existence and the first to play the game with American League ballplayers, consists mostly of New York City journalists and writers. Tony Lukas of the Palukas has won Pulitzers both for his reporting for the New York Times and for his recent book on Boston race relations, Common...
...several that Donahue moderated during a ten-day visit to the Soviet Union, a trip that provided material for four segments of his syndicated talk show airing this week. Though Donahue is not the first TV host to broadcast from the U.S.S.R. (the Today show's Bryant Gumbel, for example, spent a week there in 1984), he and his crew were given the most unfettered access to average Soviet citizens since Party Leader Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of glasnost, or openness, took hold. Studio audiences were chosen at random by Donahue staffers (accompanied by a Soviet escort) from grocery stores...
