...Schlopy was U.S. champion. Beyond prodigious talent, he had a sharp strategic mind and great technique, rarities in a young skier. At 20, he nearly blew himself apart in a grotesque wreck during the world championships in Japan. The damage included a broken back and a punctured lung. Schlopy's health gradually returned, and he even made the '94 Olympic team, but his progress as a skier had stalled. "I came back, but I wasn't improving," he says. "I don't know if it was due to being unhappy with the team environment or a lack of maturity...

...Harrison died at a friend's home in Los Angeles last week at age 58, losing his last battle with cancer. In 1997 he had a cancerous lump removed from his neck; earlier this year he was operated on for a cancer found on his lung and subsequently received treatment for a tumor on his brain, including a controversial form of radiation therapy at the Staten Island University Hospital in New York City.
