...uncanny similarity between the two Reagan cases. He had examined Neil in January, discovered two intestinal polyps and removed them. At the same time, he performed a colonoscopy, spotted a suspicious area and took a biopsy, which turned out negative. But in June, after Neil complained of abdominal pain, Ritt performed another colonoscopy; this time tissue taken from the same spot contained malignant cells. On July 3, only ten days before the President's operation, Neil had major surgery to remove the growth. Ritt reports that it was in the same area of the colon as the President's, that...

Halberstam, who took the time to get to know the oarsmen in their boats and onshore, offers some provocative answers. They are not likely to make the sport or the sportsmen popular, but they provide valuable insights into the psychology...
...last time the world paid any special heed to Mary Decker and Zola Budd, the two women were leaving Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, both in obvious emotional pain, both hounded by the press, both with tears streaking their faces. Halfway through the Olympic 3,000-meter final, Budd, the barefoot sensation from South Africa, went a half-stride ahead and cut in slightly on Decker, the U.S. champion competing in her first Games. In one heart-stopping instant, Decker got tangled up in Budd's feet and crashed. As she cried out with the pain of a torn muscle...
