...graciously summed up what the Games meant for most of his teammates. "My souvenirs," said Patzaichin, "will be the athletes I've met, the friends I've seen, the people of Santa Barbara, the views of the Pacific Ocean." Not to mention gold and silver medals. -By Lloyd Garrison. Reportedby Benjamin W. CateandBJ. Phillips/Los Angeles
...explosions caused by mines? If so, who laid them and why? No one is saying. What is known, however, is that at least nine merchant vessels of different national registries, including at least one Soviet ship, have been rocked at sea by mysterious blasts since early July. According to Lloyd's Shipping Intelligence, an arm of Lloyd's of London, the hazardous zones appear to be at the northern and southern ends of the Red Sea.

Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and Lyricist Tim Rice, once the Midas men of British songwriting with the shows Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Evita, have separated and are parading their new collaborators before London playgoers...

For this multimedia combo of Rollerball and The Little Engine That Could, Designer John Napier has ramped and revamped the huge Apollo Victoria Theater, allowing the young cast room to roller-skate through three levels of the audience. But all the amplified sound and whirling energy cannot hide the show's vacuity. The story line is repetitive and inconsequential; Trevor Nunn's staging is an elephantine parody...
