Among them is Georgi Daneliya, who made the appealing, comic Autumn Marathon (1979). It is about a teacher-translator trying to balance the requirements of his overextended double career with the equally pressing demands of a suspicious wife and a possessive mistress-a situation familiar to members of the Western bourgeoisie. The movie offers an agreeable insight into the life of the educated, privileged class in the Soviet Union...
...last two years, Chinmoy has taken up running as an active meditative discipline well adapted to an outer-directed West. In March 1979 he ran his first marathon in San Francisco (a leisurely 4:31) and now encourages all disciple to run at least two miles a day.

...hadn't she? On the assumption she had, New Yorker Rosie Ruiz, 26, was crowned as the first woman finisher in the 26.2-mile Boston Marathon.

"What matters is that CBS came from behind, and it's now ABC that must battle the champ," says Robert Buchanan, executive vice president of the J. Walter Thompson agency.

You can't really say which one is the better runner. But whom do you bet on in the next race?" Ask Aesop...
...that Israeli and Egyptian representatives will begin nonstop talks on West Bank-Gaza autonomy next week and continue them for the 40 days remaining until May 26, when, under the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty, the two sides are supposed to come to an agreement. Sadat earlier had proposed the marathon negotiations and asked that they be held in Washington. Begin, fearing that his representatives would be subjected to U.S. arm twisting, would not agree; he proposed that the talks be held for 20 days in Israel, then for the next 20 days in Egypt. He won; Carter agreed...
