Not since 1968 at Mexico City had the U.S. women won a silver or gold. Saturday afternoon the East German lightning...
...unruly teen-agers will get themselves bitten in the behind by surly bears gone berserk amid the frenzy of Yosemite, dozens of tennis foursomes will never speak to one another again, hundreds of budding romances will expire into a heap, mothers-in-law will weep, the divorce rate will leap, and in the end, home will never look so good...
