...Rumania's athletes, politics was not the issue. Ivan Patzaichin, who at 34 has competed in five Olympics and won 30 medals in international competitions as a rower for Rumania, graciously summed up what the Games meant for most of his teammates. "My souvenirs," said Patzaichin, "will be the athletes I've met, the friends I've seen, the people of Santa Barbara, the views of the Pacific Ocean." Not to mention gold and silver medals. -By Lloyd Garrison. Reportedby Benjamin W. CateandBJ. Phillips/Los Angeles
