With the men, the break between old and new was not quite so sharp. Max Julen, 22, the Swiss technician who won the G.S., was not unheard of, if one followed skiing closely. And Bronze Medalist Andreas Wenzel, Hanni's brother, was a star. The big roar of applause was not for Julen or Wenzel, however. It was for Yugoslav Jure Franko, the tall, good-looking G.S. specialist who won the silver, the first medal of any kind the Yugoslavs had ever won in a Winter Olympics. The 21-year-old Franko is less well known than Yugoslav Slalom...
...uncertainty every four years is not whether a pickup team of U.S. hockey players can confound the world by winning again, or even whether the Olympic committee can exceed its previous stuffiness in the matter of amateurism (it can: two champion skiers, Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark and Liechtenstein's Hanni Wenzel, were ruled out of this Olympics for accepting their loot too directly). No, what is fascinating is to learn whether the harried and exasperated hosts, driven googly by the problems of cosseting tens of thousands of athletes and their keepers and watchers in a region where even lichen feel...
...magic." Last season had been forecast as a watershed year for Coor per, but it was McKinney who made history. During 16 years of World Cup competition, only twice before had one country swept the overall titles, and no American woman had ever won. McKinney beat Hanni Wenzel.

...believe it, but it feels great," said McKinney. "I was a little nervous about the race today. I just let the skis run." When Switzerland's Erika Hess, the defending champion, fell at a gate last week, McKinney moved up from third place, past Hess and Hanni Wenzel of Liechtenstein. Then, summoning what she called "the best ski days of my career," Tamara won two giant slaloms in Waterville Valley, N.H., her fourth and fifth victories of the winter. "I took some chances," she said, "and just...
Writer-Director Rainer Werner Fassbinder, who died last June at 36, was a cauterizer of the German body politic. In the 1977 telefilm (reduced from three hours to 110 minutes for theatrical release), he portrays Hanni and Xaverl not simply as predator and willing prey but as victims of both economic hypocrisy and puritan prurience. Nor is the viewer exempt: he must peek at Hanni's lovemaking through frosted train windows and the billowing lace curtains of the middle class. The leading actors are exemplary: Trissenaar, porcelain-skinned and angel-faced and scarily self-possessed, and Raab, the perpetual...
