...thought--and key opportunities for freshmen to broaden their interests. Access to freshman dorms is crucial for publications to circulate their opinions; without door-to-door delivery, fewer freshmen will go out of their way to pick up the publications. Because restricting distribution limits the publications' ability to be heard, it is, in effect, an infringement on the freedom of the press. And, since this policy is applied to only non-subscription items, it discriminates against some publications...
Shouts were heard: "What's SUR?" "Suriname," someone answered, "northeast South America." Nesty, who trains at the University of Florida, was the first citizen of this former Dutch colony to win an Olympic medal. Biondi, leading at 98 meters, was caught awkwardly between strokes and, a relative newcomer to the fly, tried to glide to the wall. "I was afraid if I took another stroke, what would touch first would be my nose," he explained gloomily. But Nesty, who won the same race in the Pan American Games last year, belonged on the Olympic victory stand...
...First Salute is an Old World look at the New. There are no re-enactments of Paul Revere's ride, no echoes of the shot heard round the world. Instead, the critical naval battle in Chesapeake Bay and Washington's victory (with essential French aid) over Cornwallis at Yorktown are presented in the context of political decisions and misjudgments made thousands of miles across the Atlantic. Young America produced an unusual number of intelligent and bold leaders, but, to Tuchman, the success of its war of independence rested largely on the outcome of European struggles for colonies and commerce...
Perfection hit its head on a diving board last week and, in a blissful spell of dizziness, thought it heard the Suriname anthem playing on the Olympic Victrola. For just a second there, a 4-ft. 11-in. Turk seemed to be lifting a 420-lb. dumbbell, the equivalent of two Olympic committeemen. A buoyant black swimmer with ordinary thighs was receiving the gold medal. South Korea was rioting in a boxing ring. The phones were working. The laundry was ready. And in the race for regal figure, Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis both came running...
...exactly 11:32 a.m. last Monday, bathers at Israel's Palmachim Beach heard a sudden roar and watched in awe as a white rocket streaked into the sky. They were witness to the launching of Israel's first space satellite, which made the country only the eighth (after the Soviet Union, the U.S., France, Japan, China, Britain and India) to possess a rocket powerful enough to put a satellite into orbit. That capability, revealed by TIME in August, offers impressive evidence that Israel can launch missiles and hit targets in most Arab countries...
