Heading the charge were three Soviet veterans, Vladimir Artemov, 23, Valeri Liukin, 21, and Dmitri Bilozerchev, 21. Coming into the Olympics, the favorite for the all-around title was Bilozerchev, the handsome, brooding Heathcliff of gymnastics who just three years ago almost lost a leg in a car accident. On the night of the all-around fight, Bilozerchev met expectations, outscoring both his teammates as he took 10s in three of the six events. But 50% of the all-around score carries over from the team competition, and there, Bilozerchev had faltered badly in one event, slamming into the high...

In Africa and Latin America, black American pop stars bring with them an implicit hopefulness; Thriller is thrilling partly as a totem of black achievement. Hollywood does not promote revolution but rather a flashy kind of Yankee individualism--spontaneous, self-reliant and acquisitive. "American film exports the American dream," says Charlton Heston...
...coach; it ended after only two seasons, in 1971, but by the '80s he got the formula perfectly tuned to the popular funnybone. After raising five children of his own, Cosby in his concerts was increasingly inspired by the bemusement of fatherhood. And it all came together in Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable, the beleaguered, loving father of five, who is at the center of NBC's The Cosby Show, one of the most successful sitcoms in TV history.
