Along the crowded counters of Bi-Rite Photo in midtown Manhattan, bargain hunters contend not only with the usual bewildering selection of cameras and lenses but also with a choice of prices for the same item.

For what the Yugoslavs whimsically call "the other Olympics," they have gathered $140 million from worldwide TV rights, $3 million from Coca-Cola, and various other millions from 22 corporations, including the Miller Brewing Co., Nikon and Kellogg, to put on something of their own commercial Games. Unlike the Los Angeles production, however, the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Games have required a great deal of construction.
