...favorite will be Turishcheva's celebrated teammate, Firefly Olga Korbut, 21, who flipped, tumbled, smiled and cried both herself and her sport into the spotlight four years ago as she flitted off with two gold medals of her own. And the romanticist's favorite will be Nadia Comaneci, a 14-year-old, 86-lb. Rumanian sprite who risks fancier flights than Tinker Bell could dream...

Kogan is a 19-year-old freshman who upon arrival last fall was immediately welcomed in musical circles as the most accomplished pianist at Harvard in many years. He has studied piano since age seven with Nadia Reisenberg in New York City and with Nadia Boulanger last summer in France, and his performance of the Liszt E Flat Piano Concerto was exceptional.
