...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...
...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...
...Hanni, my love-you whore, you dirty bitch, you devil, you trashy wench, you poor darling sweet saintly Hanni!" Xaverl Bolwieser (Kurt Raab), a Bavarian stationmaster, has every reason to curse and care for his wife Hanni (Elisabeth Trissenaar). She sets his nights ablaze with her Lorelei beauty and passion, but she doesn't really love him.

Promiscuous as a prancing stud, possessive as any hausfrau, Hanni drives "Fatty" Bolwieser...
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...
...days later, Moser-Pröll took a spill on the steep upper portion of the shorter women's slalom in the first run and was eliminated. Hanni stayed upright and swept to her second gold by a commanding margin of nearly 1.5 sec. With two golds and a silver in the three alpine events, she matched the smashing performance of West Germany's Rosi Mittermaier in the 1976 Winter Games at Innsbruck...
