Bush's first real test could come in a televised debate with Ferraro, a contest Republicans would just as soon avoid. Until then, Bush will remain the President's surrogate, stumping in such states as Connecticut and Texas, where he has pull, and fanning out to remote regions Reagan lacks the time to reach. The running mate traditionally takes over the low road, but slinging mud at a woman is as yet an imperfect political art. Bush so far has limited his jabs to Mondale, waiting for the novelty of Ferraro to wear off. "George by nature...
...fast, said UNESCO Director-General Amadou Mahtar M'Bow of Senegal. Reason: the U.S. has announced that it will pull out of UNESCO after 1984 unless the agency renounces its anti-Western bias, including support for a "new world information order" that could muzzle journalists.

Six days later, on April 23, a depressed Benoit was back in James' office; that morning the pain in her knee had forced her to pull up three miles into a run. James presented her with two options: she could stop training altogether and give the injury time to heal, which would mean missing the Olympic trials, could undergo an operation for diagnosing and treating knee problems known as arthroscopy...

"To be a part of it now when we come to this moment, when we finally pull it off . . . I'm so happy I stayed around to be a part of this. From this moment on, we will always be Olympic champions." -By BJ. Phillips
