Early in the week, tired and haggard, Social Democratic Chairman Olof Palme, 49, tendered his resignation as Prime Minister-the post he had held since 1969-to the Speaker of Parliament, and vowed to "continue to be a driving force in Swedish politics." He will now head a caretaker government for a few weeks until Center Party Chairman Thorbjörn Fälldin (pronounced fell-dean), 50, names his Cabinet and becomes Prime Minister...
...Montreal Games with a haunting figure that may be remembered as vividly as the little girl who won two individual gold medals and one silver at the '72 Olympics in Munich. Her hair unkempt, the red bows on her two pony tails askew, her face at moments haggard beyond middle age, she displayed an overwhelming desire for victory while faced with certain defeat. She ignored Comaneci, refused to watch her rival perform. At one point Korbut burst into tears, at another ostentatiously iced an ailing ankle ("Every athlete always has something that hurts.

...treatise Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream. We get the complete story about Johnson's electric toothbrush fetish. There is the vivid description of LBJ's discussion with an embarrassed Kennedy-liberal while the president sat on the toilet. And, she includes an awesome account of the haggard man who tiptoed down to the situation room of the White House at 3 a.m. to see how his war was progressing.

Burned-out pistons were a consistent problem, but even when running smoothly the car was no blue streak, failing to get within reach of the 180-m.p.h. speed probably necessary for qualification. With her best lap going into the last day of qualification a low 173.611, Guthrie...
...Reagan rebound inspired a most unusual scene in the Cabinet Room of the White House on the agonizing morning after last week's primaries. Ford's face was drawn and haggard as he walked into his regular weekly meeting with Republican congressional leaders. "He's been up late watching the returns," mused one of them. Indeed he had?and the news from Indiana, Georgia and Alabama had all been bad. The legislators rose as they always do, but this time did something unusual: they broke into applause. At a moment when the President was down, they wanted to show their...
