Still to be consecrated, the new Virgin has been a quick success. Even at night Cubans toss money in the pool, stuff currency in her hand. The money, collected regularly ($112.28 last week), is given to an orphanage...
Next to track & field, men's swimming gets most attention from the U.S. at the Olympics. With Japan on the sidelines (Japan and Germany were not invited), the U.S. has the pool almost to itself-except for France's Alex Jany in the 100-& 400-meter freestyle.
