...teammate, Ragnar Ulland, soared to a crash landing in a practice ski jump and was badly bruised. Italy's downhill ski champion, Maria-Grazia Marchelli, fresh from a plaster cast, whipped down a Tofana slope at 50 m.p.h.; she wound up back on the sidelines with a torn knee ligament. In a sense, the accidents were inevitable. The traditional contests, with which the games began in ancient Greece, strain muscle and mind, but rarely endanger life. Only since the Olympics moved to the mountains have they acquired a real element of danger...
...chased by dogs." An older woman, a German, finally initiates Tone in the mysteries of sex ("Aber Gott . . . you are so young'1). Meanwhile Author Boles unravels a skein of subplots. Readers will find themselves aging rather more rapidly than Tone, who keeps himself in shape by doing knee-bends in moments of crisis and repeating that everything is "mighty very fine."

Her arresting getup: a heavy, goblin-style hat, a fur-collared, knee-length cloth coat with mannish lapels, a dress of another material but with black buttons matching the coat's, shoes and handbag in suede, the whole incongruously teamed with pigskin gloves, a pearl necklace. Polled for their views, the fashion experts, all insisting on anonymity, gasped politely at Margaret...
...accomplished yachtsman, horseman and fisherman, and is fond of wrestling with the lion in the royal zoo. He loves to skin dive, once descended 100 ft. off the coast of Corsica. In the 1953 Tour de France, Rainier wrapped his Panhard around a tree, escaped with a cut knee. Whenever he steps into one of his flashy racing cars, all Monaco breathes a prayer for his safety...
