...medal competition for viewers to judge: Which fans will be the noisiest, those watching the soccer (cheering perhaps for Italy, West Germany, Brazil) or those at table tennis rooting for Chinese Superstar Jiang Jialiang? Veteran Captain Karch Kiraly will lead the U.S. into what could be these Games' final confrontation with the U.S.S.R.: on the volleyball court. While most of the U.S. sleeps, Kenya's Douglas Wakiihuri and Djibouti's Ahmed Salah should be leading home a wide-open marathon field...

...retired physician in California, whose yowl of protest began when he saw three old women sifting through garbage cans for scraps. Townsend wrote a letter to a newspaper demanding $150 a month for all old people, and that demand soon mushroomed into clubs, newspapers, protest meetings and the noisiest crusade of 1935. The Social Security Act that emerged from Congress that year provided payments of only $10 to $85 monthly, which were not to start until 1942, but the pensioners' desperate needs advanced that starting date...
