Next, he is eyeing a quadruple crown. After all, Jesse Owens took four firsts in Berlin. At the U.S.-East Germany dual meet in Los Angeles last Saturday, Lewis ran the anchor leg in the winning 4x100 meter relay.

"I've worked hard for it. I mean, nothing was just given...
...consecutive weeks, major sports events an ocean and a world apart stepped ("one leg at a time," as the sportswriters say) into trouser controversies. Early last week, during the final round of the U.S. Open Golf Championship at Oakmont, Pa., Forrest Fezler ducked into a portable comfort station after finishing the 17th hole and emerged to play the last hole historically (also horrendously) in shorts.

He pledged that there is no country that the U.S. "will be able to rely on more than Australia." In a speech before Washington's National Press Club, Hawke added...
August 8, 1982--Several irrepressible summer schoolers opened an exclusive women's leg shaving salon in Weld.
