...lampshade at a party while completely sober. Esquire is another competitor in this smile-button sweepstakes. Its diary boasts cartoons and ads drawn from the magazine's issues of 1939. Not, however, exactly the world's most fun year. Somehow the memory of Nazi troops pouring into Poland might mar my enjoyment of next Sept. 1.

Taj Mahal in Atlantic City), and the biggest ego (see his memoir...

...Olympians had previously won a total of twelve national all-around titles; the '88 team has two. Time moved too slowly for those among the missing: Tim Daggett (broken leg), Dan Hayden (separated shoulder) and Sabrina Mar (chronic back disorder). Those to watch for: returning Olympian Scott Johnson, 27, who will compete with screws in his broken right hand; Charles Lakes, 24, America's first black Olympian gymnast; and Phoebe Mills, 15, the runaway U.S. Olympic trials winner...
