...guard Sarajevo on three sides. There is also a fine new indoor skating complex, an assertively modern structure with brown, smoked reflecting glass in the entryways and windows and, in the manner of the Pompidou Center in Paris, intentionally exposed ventilation pipes visible outside. Near by, a big, new outdoor speed-skating oval is boldly supported by 400 concrete pillars above a storage cover for snowplows and TV equipment...
Some snow-removal equipment has been brought from Austria and Switzerland, but a big dump of snow could shatter even the Olympic omnilingual outdoor cursing record set four years ago at Lake Placid, during a work stoppage by bus drivers hired for the Games. Transportation of live spectators is admittedly not a high-priority matter. Any Winter Olympics is and should be a TV spectacle...
...hunters inadvertently scatter into lakes and ponds. With that gesture, he buried the hatchet with the largest conservation group in the U.S. Clark also promised that he would end the moratorium imposed by Watt on acquiring new land for the national parks and wildlife refuges, a major irritant to outdoor groups, to say nothing of Congress, which had voted $157 million for the purchases.

John and Donna Coffield invited several of the stranded bargemen into their home for Christmas...
...that "measures will be taken" to insure that no similar protest could take place at the college. Perhaps Dean Epps would like to make visiting war criminals feel more at home by stationing death squads equipped with M16s on campus, or arrange reconnaissance flights followed by aerial bombardment of outdoor rallies such as the one which preceded the Weinberger protest. Weinberger and his underlings in the Harvard administration would no doubt like to treat their opposition in the U.S. the way they do in EI Salvador where anyone who breathes a word of protest would be summarily seized, interrogated, imprisoned...
