Daume's concern about the Olympic housing rule was curious. For one thing, the rule has been broken before; in Mexico in 1968, for instance, West German Millionaire Josef Necker-mann, who won gold and silver medals in dressage, stayed at the luxurious hotel Maria Cristina.

Actually, Tuesday's sins-odd clothing, bare feet and open love affairs -would have seemed quite normal a decade later...
...Bloom as Mary and Eileen Atkins as Elizabeth, has just finished a Broadway run and is scheduled to go on tour in the fall. Also in New York, a musical called Elizabeth I had a short run, and at Lincoln Center there was an adaptation of Schiller's Maria Stuart-not to mention a production of Donizetti's Maria Stuarda at the New York City Opera...
