...wedding pictures are ready for the album, and at 22, Olga Korbut has left her temper tantrums-and her parallel bars-behind. The Olympic gold medalist plans to coach gymnastics rather than perform. She also hopes to travel with her husband, Leonid Bortkevich, 27, a singer with the Soviet Union's popular folk-rock group Pesnyary (Singers).

In parallel studies of 1,500 American and German students, Rothman and Lichter discovered that radicals in both countries had similar family backgrounds: fathers they saw as stern and punitive, mothers as distant and cold.
