...harriers should fare well in the 100-and 200-yd. events as the sprinters are comparatively flourishing in health. Tricaptain Joe Salvo and junior Jean Chapus will constitute a tough duo in the 100 and 200, and last year's returning sprint relay team, anchored by speedster Peter Nsaih, will pose a formidable threat on any track...
...some firms, though, the Olympic boycott may mean more than just a temporary setback and the ruination of an expected sales bonanza. Levi Strauss's negotiations to build a blue-jean plant in the Soviet Union could be damaged by the boycott. Coca-Cola saw the Olympics as its first major penetration of the Soviet market, which Pepsi-Cola so far has cornered. The company had already sent Moscow large supplies of the concentrated Coke syrup. But last week Chairman J. Paul Austin told his old friend and fellow Georgian Jimmy Carter that the company would abide...
...substance that has caused all this excitement was discovered in 1957 by Virologists Alick Isaacs and Jean Lindenmann. Isaacs, who died of a nonmalignant brain tumor at age 45 in 1967, was investigating influenza viruses at London's National Institute for Medical Research.

Daughter of a career military officer, she graduated with honors from Smith College in 1945, married and had two children: David, now 29, a banker in Yonkers, N.Y., and James, 27, a Marine lieutenant. She divorced her husband in the early '60s, when she was teaching at the University Liggett School in Grosse Pointe, Mich. She later was director of the Thomas School in Rowayton, Conn., and in 1977 became headmistress of Madeira. With a student body of 325 girls (tuition for boarders: $6,100), the school occupies almost 400 closely guarded...
...pieced together by investigators, the Liverpool scheme was elaborately simple. A mysterious Swiss businessman named Jean Cottet used a Panamanian firm to buy and ship bulk consignments of cheap French table wine to a few select bottling firms in The Netherlands. There it was put into unlabeled bottles and pro vided with a forged set of papers attesting to the fact that it came from a respected wine-growing area entitled to a French government Appellation Contrôleé certifi cate. Thence to England, where the high-priced labels were put on by Eutron before the wine was dispatched...
