...meter record as well. But a slow early pace kept him nearly 2 sec. slower than Ovett at the 1,500-meter mark (120 yds. short of a mile). Coe shifted into over drive. With a capacity crowd of 23,000 at Zurich's Letzigrund Stadium stamping in rhythm with his every step, he was able to make up lost seconds in the final 100 yds. to finish the mile in record time. He had worked during the winter on his already powerful closing kick, and it had paid off. But Coe rued the record that got away...
Designed by Peter Chermayeff, 45, chief architect of Cambridge Seven Associates, the building improves upon concepts the firm used in 1970 for Boston's successful New England Aquarium. Chermayeff describes the layout as similar to a symphony, with a linear structure following an "ABA" rhythm.

...strike goes on for very long, and the unimaginable becomes the inescapable, what damage will it do to the American way of life? In the first place, it will significantly change the 1981 baseball season; it already has. The rhythm of the season has been thrown off; momentums have been lost. On the other hand, the Atlanta Braves have played so abysmally that when the strike began, the Atlanta Constitution editorialized: "Great news! The Braves didn't lose last night." In Atlanta, the strike may be accepted as evidence of God's mercy...
