They are relying on sex to sell the product." Shameful...
Soon after landing at Oslo, Sport Researcher Anne Denny took time out to do the story of Holmen-kollen ski jump (TIME, March 12), then went to Stockholm to board a boat that broke through Baltic Sea ice into Turku, Finland. In Helsinki she talked with officials of the 1952 Olympics, took a trip up into Lapland. There among the hospitable Finns she had a wild ride in a reindeer sleigh, skied, watched trotting races on the frozen Kemi River. Though she later divided three weeks between Paris and Brussels, her next long stop was again ski country, this time...
